Hello! I am Jo Bealey

Licensed Counsellor and Psychotherapist

As a qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, I am registered with both the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and the Australian Counselling Association. My approach is rooted in the belief that therapy should be accessible and achievable for everyone, no matter their circumstances.

If you’re experiencing more bad days than good, feeling overwhelmed by emotions like sadness, anxiety, grief, or simply struggling to manage persistent troubling thoughts, you’re not alone. Many people feel they ought to handle everything on their own, but this can amplify feelings of isolation and difficulty.

I understand the courage it takes to open up about your inner world. Before I became a therapist, I faced similar challenges. That’s why I strive to create a safe and welcoming space—a sanctuary where you can be yourself without judgment. Here, you can share your experiences and feelings openly.

In our sessions, you’ll find a non-directive environment. My role is to accompany you on your journey, helping you to explore whatever issues you wish to discuss, no matter how significant or minor they may seem. Each thought and feeling is valid and will be received with empathy and support.

We will move at your pace, focusing on the areas you feel are most important. My commitment is to provide a space that is entirely yours, where you can reflect, discover, and grow at a comfortable rhythm. Together, we can navigate the complexities of your experiences and work towards a place of better understanding and peace.

 

 

 

My Verified Seal

 Perhaps it is a present issue that is causing you difficulty or past events which need some time and attention.

I treat all my clients as unique and with warmth and kindness. I bring my own life experience and qualifications to create a therapeutic and empathetic relationship that will help enable you to feel better and like ‘you’ once again.

I specialise in Attachment -based psychotherapy, this helps the development of secure and healthy attachments, healing attachment wounds, and enhance emotional well-being.

Perhaps you’ve come across your attachment style and are curious about how it influences your relationships and overall well-being? Or maybe you experienced a difficult childhood and are looking to be able to heal from those early adversities. 

By exploring early attachment experiences and understanding their impact, we gain insight into your relationship patterns and can work towards developing healthier ways relating to others.

 Attachment psychotherapy provides a space for us to understand ourselves better. 

We focus on enhancing emotion regulation skills, promoting self-compassion, and fostering supportive relationships, all of which contribute to improved overall mental health. Attachment-based therapy empowers you to make sense of your thoughts and feelings, build stronger connections, heal from past hurts, and navigate future challenges with greater resilience and a sense of security.

While some hurdles can feel more challenging than others, in my therapy room whether it be online or in-person, you’ll find a warm space to explore and receive empathetic, compassionate and curious responses to everything you have been through, supporting you to grow and evolve.
