Therapy and Counselling Sessions in Banbury, Oxfordshire
Welcome – I’m Jo, and I’m really happy you’re here.
You don’t have to face it alone, whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not quite yourself lately. I offer warm, trauma-informed counselling for adults (18+), a safe, supportive space free from judgment to explore what’s going on for you.
You can work with me in person in Banbury and Culworth, or online from anywhere in the UK—whatever feels most comfortable for you.
My counselling style is person-centred and led by your pace, with a focus on safety, empathy, and connection. I’m also a neurodivergent-affirming therapist, which means I welcome and respect all ways of thinking, feeling, and being. Whether you’re neurodivergent yourself or exploring that possibility, you’ll be met with openness and understanding. Together, we can understand how your past experiences might be showing up in the present and explore ways to support healing and growth.
I draw on attachment theory and psychoeducation to help you make sense of things, build emotional resilience, and reconnect with your sense of self. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, low self-worth, or the lasting effects of trauma, you’re welcome here.
Counselling isn’t about fixing you—it’s about creating space for you to be seen, heard, and supported.

What My Clients Say
“I started a journey through counselling. Through the compassionate and caring listening, guidance, and skill of Jo, I can look back at the really hard times, and they are much sweeter because of the care and support I have received. I am discovering a new me and am beginning to see possibilities and a wider life that would have made me feel anxious and overwhelmed before. Thank you feels so inadequate to express my gratitude and appreciation”
