About Jo
Jo Almond is a counsellor with four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, coping with trauma and abuse, or navigating relationship and career challenges. Jo aims to make the first steps towards change feel manageable and practical.
Jo uses a client-centred way of working that puts the person's experience at the heart of each session.
Background and approach
She listens without judgement and helps people make sense of difficult emotions and patterns that get in the way of daily life. Her approach is collaborative and paced to suit each person's needs. She also brings mindfulness and somatic ideas into sessions to help people reconnect with their body and reduce anxious tension.
These tools are used alongside talking work to develop clearer coping strategies and steadier emotional regulation. Trauma-focused methods are available when helpful for processing past harm. Jo has worked with a wide range of concerns, including grief, addiction, sleep problems, ADHD, parenting pressures, and career stress.
She is attentive to diversity and adjusts her approach to reflect each person’s identity and circumstances. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Joining begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling that fits around the person's life.
Working online with client-centred and mindfulness approaches
Jo uses client-centred therapy as a foundation, which means sessions begin with the person's experience and priorities. The counsellor listens and reflects, helping people name what matters and decide the next steps. This approach is useful for anxiety, relationship struggles and coping with life transitions.She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce tension and improve focus. These exercises help when stress or worry feels constant and make it easier to notice unhelpful thought patterns. Somatic ideas are used alongside talking to notice bodily signals and ease physical tension linked to anxiety or trauma.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jo will explore goals and preferences together and adjust methods as needed. The process is collaborative, with practical steps agreed each session so progress feels tangible.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face contact and shared visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break from work. Live chat or messaging is useful for brief check-ins, reflection between sessions or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep continuity during change.
