About Jo
Jo Almond is a counsellor who draws on somatic, client-centred and mindfulness approaches to help people navigate stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She holds BACP membership and has four years of professional experience in UK settings. Jo aims to create a calm, accepting space where clients can talk plainly about what is worrying them.
She works with people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, addiction concerns and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem.
Background and approach
Jo also supports those facing career pressure, compassion fatigue, parenting strain and sleep problems. Her practice includes additional focus areas such as adoption and foster care, chronic illness and codependency. In sessions Jo prioritises what the person in front of her needs.
She listens first and asks practical questions about day-to-day life. Conversations may include attention to bodily experience, simple mindfulness exercises and reflective listening to make sense of patterns and reactions. Jo understands the added complexity of identity, disability or diagnosis, and she aims to hold differences without judgement.
She offers coaching-style support for professionals alongside therapeutic work for emotional and behavioural issues. The overall aim is to help people take steps towards clearer choices and greater wellbeing. Sessions are offered in English and delivered remotely across the United Kingdom.
Clients use a subscription model where bookings are scheduled according to therapist availability and can be cancelled at any time.
How Jo’s approaches work online
Jo integrates somatic methods and client-centred practice to help people manage symptoms and make clearer choices. Somatic work brings attention to bodily sensations to spot stress and trauma responses, which can help with anxiety, sleep problems and the aftereffects of abuse. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person, helping them feel heard and understood.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jo will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That might mean starting with gentle body awareness and moving towards practical mindfulness skills or coaching conversations as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health needs, and allow people to continue work from wherever they are in the United Kingdom. The variety of formats also lets clients try different ways of communicating to see what feels most helpful for them.
