Hello, I’m Jo.

With extensive experience in marriage guidance, relationship counselling, and individual therapy, I provide compassionate, practical support for couples and individuals facing life’s challenges.

After completing my initial counselling qualification, I went on to specialise in relationship therapy. Since then, I’ve worked with many couples to rebuild communication, resolve conflict, and strengthen connection. I understand how relationships evolve over time — people grow, priorities change, and sometimes that can create distance or misunderstanding. My goal is to help you and your partner navigate those changes in a way that feels respectful, balanced, and sustainable for you both.

Alongside my work with couples, I offer one-to-one therapy for individuals who want a confidential, non-judgemental space to reflect and grow. Counselling is your time — your choice — to focus entirely on you.

If you’d like to know more about my experience or the services I offer, please feel free to get in touch. I’m always happy to answer questions and help you decide what support feels right for you.

Warm regards,
Jo

What to Expect

About Me

Teneale

"My husband and I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support and guidance we received from Jo. From the moment we were first introduced we felt a sense of comfort and understanding that immediately put us at ease. Jo has a unique ability to listen empathetically and offer insightful advice that truly resonates.

Through her expert guidance, we have learned to communicate more effectively, understand each other's perspectives, and rebuild the trust that we thought we had lost. She provided us with practical tools and strategies that have made a profound difference in our relationship.

What sets Jo apart is her genuine care and dedication. She created a safe space for us to openly discuss our issues without judgment, and through her support gave us the confidence to work through our challenges. Thank you so much! We are now on a path to a stronger, healthier, and more fulfilling marriage.

We would wholeheartedly recommend Jo to any couple seeking guidance and support" - June 2024

How often do you just want to rant?
How many times have you ranted at a friend or family member?

The chances are once you have had your say, that friend or family member has gone on to give you a handful of advice or told you about their similar experiences, which probably hasn't helped and isn't what you needed.

This is normal, when we hear a friend or loved one is having problems, or is distressed in whatever way, its completely natural to want to help, to give them solutions or make them feel better. However, sometimes that's just not what they need. More often than not, they already have the answers they need, they know what they should be doing, the ranting stage is just the emotions that build up at the injustice or annoyance at having to experience it.

Sometimes we just need to rant and be heard.

It doesn't matter who you are, you should not feel under appreciated in your relationship or in life. We all have problems, we all argue but if you are at the stage where you constantly feel miserable or arguments are taking up far too much of your energy and time then it may be good to get some extra support.

Do you feel apprehensive about seeking the help of a professional?

Please don't, you are not alone and I promise, I will only work with the things you bring to the session. If you are still unsure or you have questions then why not get in touch? Head to my website or message me on here to book a free 30 minutes consultation, then you can see for yourself if it works for you x Jo 😊

Its not uncommon to think your relationship is past saving. People can become so ingrained in their routines, their habits and 'the way it is' that they can't see past it, they can't see another way.

Sometimes its useful to think about what you once had, what you would like and ask yourself, is it worth a try?

Counselling and therapy isn't about being told what to you, it's not about being shown the right way. A good therapist will let you lead. They will listen, they will try to understand things from your perspective and they will walk with you on your journey to self healing.

Historically attending a counselling session has meant travelling to an office, usually quite a distance away from where you live, setting aside a few hours to get there, have your session and get home. For couples counselling it also meant having to arrange a time and date that suited not only yourself but your partner too 🤔

Online counselling has changed all of that. Now you can access the same great support from the comfort of your own home, no travelling time, just open you laptop, switch on your phone or tablet or fire up your computer and you are ready to go 👏

For couples, you don't even have to be in the same room. So, your partner is working late or can't get back to the house, online counselling let's you both connect from different devices so you can still both attend.

I have been working online now since March 2020 and I honestly have nothing negative to report, it has been really positive. Clients have more time to do what they need to do, they have space and privacy in their own homes and it has opened up a new level of flexibility.

If you still aren't sure, why not try a free 30 minutes online consultation, you will get to try out the technology and decide for yourself if it is something that will work for you.

Head to my website or contact me direct to book a session or for more information 😊

Affairs are NEVER easy to understand and even harder to forgive.

But, the place to start is the understanding. Not all affairs are the same and they all hint to a different reason as to why they happened. Understanding them not only helps you figure out why it happened but it can also help you recover from it.

To learn more head to my website and check out my blog - What type of affair was it and why does it matter.

For help healing after an affair please get in touch 🙂

If you are suffering physical pain, you are likely to seek medical attention.
If you have an issue with your teeth you are likely to see a Dentist.
But wait, apparently, if you're not happy in your relationship you more likely to carry on regardless. Why?

Relationship counselling can help you and your partner find the happiness you once had. It can help you work out your issues, improve your communication and learn how to grow and move past the problems that have been holding you back.

Relationship counselling gives you the stage to discuss the things that need to be heard, its a place to confront the worries and problems that are laying in wait.

Don't ignore your unhappiness, seek the support you need to smile again.

A relationship should be a comfort. A place where you can find support, reassurance and peace. If you find yourself feeling lonely, having no one to speak to, or feeling like you aren't heard regardless of how loud you speak, regardless of how many times you try to explain, if you find that you don't want to speak, you don't want to share but you feel lost, in need of support you cannot explain..... it may be that you would benefit from counselling.

It's normal for communication to change in relationships and often, couples need extra help to work out the changes that have occurred and what needs to be done to make them work for them.

If you would like to learn how relationship counselling can support you then please get in touch. You can message me on here or head to my website where you can book a free 30 minutes consultation with me at a time that suits you. Jo

Equality should be experienced everywhere but its particularly important in our relationships. Your relationship should not be a battle, it should not be painful and difficult all of the time.

Never underestimate the power of having a good friend who you can turn to in times of need. Who will offer support, advice and a shoulder to cry on. However, Counsellors are not friends and therefore the service you receive from a Counsellor will be different than what you would expect from a friend.

Counsellors are trained to work to strict ethical guidelines. They will not offer you advice, they will not offer sympathy or share their own experiences but they will empathise with you, they will listen and they will reflect back what you have discussed to allow you the opportunity to explore your own thoughts and feelings free form outside influence, from judgement and from imposed beliefs.

Finding a Counsellor who is right for you and your life can be difficult. It's hard enough talking about your personal thoughts, opinions and difficulties with a stranger without the added anxiety of not gelling with that person as you need to.

It's vital that you feel confident and safe with the person you are talking to.

Not everyone gets on with everyone else, that's normal, so you shouldn't have to settle for someone that just doesn't fit well for you.

That's why I offer a free 30 minutes Zoom consultation, so you can get to meet me and we can have a chat and discuss everything you want to know before you start your therapy journey.

If that sounds like something you would be interested in, please head to me website where you can book a your free consultation at a time and date to suit you.

Counselling is something that has been available and supporting people, relationships and families for many years in many different forms. However, the recent pandemic has opened up communication to allow much more flexibility in the way support is offered and received.
Online counselling has proved extremely popular over the last 2 years and is now offered by most counsellors and support agencies around the globe.
Online counselling allows you to access the support you need from the comfort of your own home, with no need to travel, no need to pay rooms fees and no need for you and your partner to even be in the same room, yes I offer relationship counselling to couples even when they can't be in the same place.

Finding out you have been lied to, deceived, let down... is extremely difficult to come to terms with. The 'finding out' bit is hard enough but then you have everything else to deal with too. Knowing what to say, how to act, what to do next. Telling other people, working out what you want, worrying about other peoples judgement, figuring out how it will effect your family, finances and way of life.

Rebuilding trust is not a simple thing to do, it takes time, understanding, communication and compromise. You may experience more pain along the way and get to the point where you feel like you can't take anymore.

There is no denying it, rebuilding trust is hard but it is possible. If you need support, reach out, get in touch, you don't have to do this on your own.

An apology should never be followed with the word BUT.

When someone says But after saying Sorry they are not taking responsibility for what they are apologising for. They are still passing blame and totally missing the point of the apology.

Of course people often want to explain why something, happened in the first place, but saying BUT is not the way.

For example:
SORRY BUT
"I'm sorry for reacting the way I did, but right then you really annoyed me"

TRY INSTEAD
I'm sorry for reacting the way I did, I got really annoyed and I let that get the better of me, I am sorry"

Remember, it doesn't matter what someone else did, you are the master of your own reactions and choices.

The thought of letting a stranger into your relationship can be really scary. The thought of speaking about things that you haven't even told your friends can be terrifying. Maybe its the prospect of change that is daunting? or maybe you just don't know what it will be like.

Whatever the reason, I can guarantee that your time with me will be completely confidential, I won't judge you, I won't tell you you're wrong. I will listen, I will help you discuss things in a way that you haven't considered before, in a way that you may not have tried before. Relationship counselling is not a place to fear, it's a kind of support that is tailored to offer you a chance, a way through your worries to a happier, lighter relationship.

If your relationships needs a little support head to my website where you can book a free 30 minute Zoom consultation with me and we can have a chat about how you and your loved one can work together to make things work for you.

Affairs can rip relationships and families apart. They can cause devastation that can last a lifetime and they leave all those involved, feeling confused, lonely and broken. There are many reasons why people choose to have affairs and these are usually linked to bigger problems that may lie within themselves, be dragged with them from their past or be deepely ingrained within their relationships.
Simply acknowledging that the affair, whilst devastating, is not the real problem, can help couples and families move forwards more quicky and come to terms with the pain that has been caused whilst dealing with the root cause.
Relationship counselling can help you see the truth as it is. You can gain the space, time and support you need to assess the damage, understand what happened and make plans to move forwards, however that may look for you.

A first counselling session can be daunting for anyone. You aren't sure what to expect, how it will work, what they will ask, what they will want to know or if your even ready for it.

So to help ease your mind I thought I would tell you some of the things you might expect. Depending on the type of therapy, as often they can differ slightly, you can usually expect to talk about the therapy itself, what it will entail, how many sessions you are likely to have and for how long. There will be discussions about boundaries, what is expected in terms of your behaviour, the therapist behaviour and contact outside of sessions, any legal and safeguarding information as well as details about confidentiality and data protection.

After all of that you will probably move on to discuss the issues that have brought you to therapy and how these have affected you. You may discuss goals and the things you are expecting to achieve.

However, with anything, it takes time so try to relax, ask questions and above all else remember, it is your choice to be there and if needed, your choice to leave.

Sometimes relationships need work. Sometimes you need another perspective, a different way and a place where you have the time and space to find clarity, together.
Relationships counselling can offer you just that and more. I can support you to clarify and meet your goals for your relationship and your future, offering you time, empathy and understanding.
Sometimes relationship counselling is the way.

Are your emotional scars destroying your relationship?

Sometimes the scars we hold from our past experiences can have a negative effect on the relationships we have in the present. Every negative experience we have changes us in some way, we start to develop coping mechanisms to protect us from experiencing similar things again. At the time these can help us greatly but eventually they may start to get in the way.

Defensiveness is a great example of this. If you have had negative experiences of people putting you down or dismissing you, you can become overly sensitive to criticism and as a result very defensive. Whilst this can alert you to unhelpful criticism, it can also lead you to misinterpret constructive criticism as a personal attack.

As social beings we need to recognise constructive criticism and act in a way that benefits us. We are going to make mistakes and the people who love us would be doing us a disservice if they ignored these.

Emotions scars can cause a number of behaviours that ultimately serve to push people away. Selfishness, needy, argumentative, accusatory, secretive, lying, all of these negative behaviours most likely developed in response to a negative experience. The first step to changing is to recognise them.

Counselling can you help you identify any unhelpful or negative behaviours and work through them. Together we can analyse their use in your current life and look to replace them with more positive coping mechanisms that ensure your safety and give way for growth within your relationships.

Do you ever look at your relationship and ask yourself if you are happy?
Do you ever wonder if you should be happier?
Do you wonder where the relationship you once had has gone?

Sometimes recognising you could benefit from support is the hardest thing, then comes the point where you have to find some.

I have been working as a Couples Counsellor for the last few years and have experience supporting couples through a range of issues.

Are you struggling to save your relationship after an affair?

Rebuilding a relationship after an affair can be extremely difficult. There are so many different factors to think about and everyone will have an opinion. Relationship Counselling is very helpful in this situation. It gives you the time and space to think about things clearly, without external influence and without being concerned with other things. I will help you both communicate the things you need and want from each other. I will help you plan the future, create new boundaries to protect you and process your grief in a safe environment. Helping you ensure that this never happens again.

To book a free 30 minute Zoom consultation with me, head to my website where you can book a time and date to suit you. Check out the link in my bio 😉 x Jo

Hope is a great and powerful source of strength but eventually you have to start looking at the facts.

Sometimes we can want something too much that it makes us do things we shouldn't be doing. We can want to make something work, want something to change, want to find a love that isn't there and that desire can make us put up with things that are wrong.

It can make us brush over negative behaviours, dismiss our feelings of hurt, fear, pain, unhappiness, doubt and depression and instead keep pushing forwards towards a goal that is most likely not achievable. It can make you do or say things you aren't comfortable with, the hope that if you do that, this will happen, or if you say that this will change.

Similarly, our own personality traits can make us put up with things we shouldn't have to. It may be that you care about someone, don't want to hurt them, feel sorry for them, feel a sense of responsibility for them or feel like you have to be there, all the while you are miserable, you are putting their needs above your own.

You can't force someone to love you and you can't force yourself to love someone else. Eventually your mind and heart will win the battle but the scars you walk away with are your choice. Learn to put yourself first, recognise your own worth and act.

So many of us strive for perfection, to be everything we believe we should be and more, but where do our ideas of perfection come from. We aren't born with a plan of exactly what we need to do to be the perfect version of us, we learn that as we grow.

How often have you sat back and asked yourself whose ideas, whose beliefs, whose vision you are working towards? Is it truly your's or just some construct of ideas and beliefs you have picked up along the way from family, friends, society, social media etc.

It's all good and well having goals and ambition and a desire to work towards a better place but its important to make sure that that place is where you want to be for you. Once you get there who will it help, who will be better off and do you even need it? After all, perfection is a very high goal in anyone's book.

Have you ever wondered how your past really has affected you? How its effects the things you do, the things you say, your thoughts, your opinions and in particularly how it effects your relationships.

Your childhood, the things you have seen, the influences you have had, they all effect the way you are today. Some of these you will be aware of, you might know that your impatience comes from your experiences of being held back by your brother or sister who you always had to wait for and always made you late. You may know that the fear that touches the edge of your awareness every time you meet a new friend is there because your old friend betrayed you. Some things are easy to explain but what about cheating, lying, the inability to commit, the fierce sense of independence you feel. What about your tendency to shy away from conversations or rush too quickly into relationships, your tendency to choose the wrong partners, wrong friends, trust the wrong people. All of these things have a root cause, a reason, an explanation.

Our experiences shape everything about us and learning about them helps you move forwards, change and grow to the you, you want to be.

To read more about this have a look at my Trust & Me blog, which looks at this a little closer and includes a full case study highlighting exactly how one client's past experiences influenced their entire life and their relationship. Check out the link to my blog in my bio x Jo 😊

Relationships should be fun, healthy, enriching. They should make you feel happy, celebrated and appreciated. However, its normal if sometimes they don't.

Life has a funny way of changing everything, we can become complacent, expectant and take those around us for granted. We can forget the things we used to enjoy, fail to see the needs of those we love and as life carries us along, the relationships that were once strong and enriching can become strained and difficult.

Relationship Counselling offers you the opportunity to press pause and evaluate things properly, it gives you the time and understanding to work things out in safe and non judgmental setting. I will help you and your partner communicate effectively so you are both heard and understood, so you both get to say what you need to say. Together we can work out what isn't working and identify the things you need to change to make things better.

Does your partner poke fun at you all of the time?
Do they criticize and put you down?

If you believe your partner genuinely cares for you and is doing this out of habit without realizing how much it bothers you, this behaviour can change. I can help you communicate your feelings to your partner in a way that will help them understand why it is a problem. We will work together to change your communication patterns to ensure this behaviour is managed better.

If this behaviour is linked more to controlling and coercive personality traits, Relationship Counselling can help you and your partners explore the behaviour in full. Looking to the past and opening up communication is just one of the things that can be achieved in counselling.

Who said that you have to deal with it all on your own?
Who told you to bury your feelings?
Who told you that it was weak/pathetic/wrong to talk about it?

They are wrong!

In this day and age people are placed under increasing pressure, this effects our physical health, our emotional health and our mental health. Our time is filled with packed routines, demands and expectations, and self care is a dream we read about but never truly commit to.

In order to do all of that without burning out, suffering mental and physical illness and being happy, you have to take care of yourself and for many of us that means talking. You don't need to do it all on your own. Counselling offers you the time and the space to get out everything you need to talk about, to work it out and to figure out. Its a time for you, just you, where no one is judging you and no one has any expectations.

Counselling is there for you, don't be afraid to ask for help. It's time to talk!

It's difficult to step back when we are on the never ending treadmill that is life. We experience so many things each and every day, from the small to the huge and beyond. Each conversation, each new meeting, each interaction with the world that we have teaches us something, influences us in some way but often we never even realise.

As life pushes down on us more and more we may start to recognise thoughts, feelings or behaviours in ourselves that don't seem right, it might be at that point you decide to seek support and look to counselling. Counselling offers you the place to step back and take stock. Its a space just for you, to discuss whatever you want to talk about, you don't even have to talk.

When life gets too busy, sometimes its good to just press pause for an hour.

Relationship Counselling isn't just a last resort, it isn't just aimed at couples who are struggling or experiencing difficulties.

Relationship Counselling can support any relationship, it can help you develop communication habits that will support your relationship as it grows and ensure your adventure is as happy as you deserve it to be x Jo

How often do you find yourself putting up with behaviour that you wouldn't normally put up with. We find ourselves in situations sometimes that are difficult to get out of, sometimes we don't even realise we have got there until a lot of time has past. That in itself affects the way we deal with it. We feel that because we have put up with it for so long we can't now change.
Maybe there are other circumstances that you feel stop you from making a change, maybe you don't know how, or maybe you just don't feel like you are worthy or anything better.

One of the ways I try to judge things is to ask myself how I would advise someone else in that situation, how would I feel if it was my friend, my child or a close family member. Often my answer is different to the one I would give myself but this in itself is enough to show me that if its not good enough for them then its not good enough for me.

Value yourself, if you don't who will?

Is your partner obsessed with your life before them?
Do they get jealous when they think or talk about your past?
Are you struggling to come to terms with your partners past?

The fact of the matter is, we all have a past. When we first get with a new partner it can be uncomfortable to think about them in a previous relationship or with a different person, but eventually you should come to a stage where this is easier to handle. However, how we deal with these things is heavily dependent upon our past experiences and the things we have learnt before. Relationship counselling can help you explore these views and experiences to find out what it may be that is causing you issues. Together we will work to understand your concerns, assess them in a logical and transparent way and alter the reactions and emotional negativity that is causing you problems,
