Behind the Practice
This isn’t a space for loud headlines. It’s a place to pause, to think, to feel, and to be met exactly where you are. The practice was built quietly, on trust, for those who carry more than they show.
I offer therapy for individuals navigating emotional life in high-pressure, high-visibility roles. Whether you're in the public eye or simply feel unseen in your private world, this is a place where you don’t need to explain. Or perform. Or protect anyone else from your reality.
An Introduction to My Practice
I am an accredited therapist with the NCPS, registered with the BACP, and a registered hypnotherapist with the HS. My training draws from person-centred, psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioural approaches, with additional expertise in trauma-informed practice, emotional neglect, and working with children and young people. I also hold enhanced safeguarding training and a full DBS.
My experience includes working with neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ clients, high-performing individuals, family offices, and professionals in media, music, business, fashion, law, and politics - often referred quietly, always received in confidence. Some clients come once. Some stay for a while.
How We Might Work
This is not prescriptive therapy. Some clients bring a clear need: burnout, grief, identity questions, addiction. Others arrive carrying something heavy, unspoken, or unclear. You don’t need a diagnosis. Or a crisis. Just a willingness to begin. Our work will be quiet, adaptive, and grounded in trust.
Sessions are held online, by phone, or in person by arrangement. No receptionists. No waiting rooms. Just a conversation, held safely.
A Note on Privacy
Every enquiry is received personally. Many clients are introduced by assistants, physicians, legal advisors, or trusted confidantes. However you arrive, your contact is received directly - never through a portal or shared system. No clinical handoffs. No intermediaries. Just a human process: discreet, contained, and intentionally small.
If You’re Considering Reaching Out
You’re welcome to begin slowly. Whether you’d like a single conversation or something longer, this is your space to explore, ask, or exhale. There’s no process to manage - just a message, read by me, and a calm place to begin.
Testimonials
“I didn’t know exactly what I was looking for, just that something needed to change. The sessions have been a place to think clearly, without having to explain everything or manage how I present myself.”

"I’ve worked with a number of therapists on behalf of clients over the years. Jo is one of the few I’d reach out to again without hesitation. Clear, grounded, genuine and reliable."
~ Private PA to public office
“There aren’t many places in my life where I’m not being watched or expected to hold it together. This has been different. It's helped me get to things I hadn’t let myself think about in a long time.”
