Jo Reidy, BACP

Jo Reidy is a counsellor with 15 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and a BACP registration. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, eating difficulties and depression. She aims to make sessions straightforward and non-judgemental so people can speak honestly about hard things.

Jo creates a calm space where people can talk through upsetting thoughts and feelings. She emphasises practical steps alongside listening, so conversations lead to clear next actions. The priority is helping each person find what works for them rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape present patterns. She also uses client-centred techniques to follow the person's concerns, and cognitive behavioural methods to tackle unhelpful thinking and behaviours. These ways of working are used to address areas such as intimacy-related issues, relationship problems and body image concerns.

Jo has also supported people with grief, parenting stress, career pressures and burnout from caregiving roles. She is familiar with complex presentations including dissociation, attachment issues and neurodiverse traits like ADHD. Over the years she has worked to combine talking, practical strategies and tailored goals to help people move forward.

Sessions are offered in English and Jo accepts international clients. Prospective clients are encouraged to use the service's matching process to find out more and to arrange an initial session once they have completed the short questionnaire.

How Jo's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how earlier bonds shape current emotional responses. This can be useful for intimacy issues, relationship worries and attachment concerns.

Client-centred therapy emphasises listening and following each person's pace and priorities. It helps when someone needs a space to talk things through and feel heard before deciding on next steps.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to test small changes. It is often used for anxiety, mood and sleep difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jo will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she will adjust the focus as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so appointments are simpler to attend. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to work effectively in an online setting, matching techniques and homework to everyday life.
