About Jo
Jo Reidy is a counsellor with 15 years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She offers calm, straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, eating difficulties and depression. Jo aims to make the first step feel manageable and to help people find clearer ways forward.
She creates an open space where clients can talk through difficult thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her, and on practical steps that fit everyday life.
Background and approach
Jo encourages small changes that add up over time. Her approach draws on systemic ideas and attachment-based work to understand relationships and patterns that affect wellbeing. She also uses client-centred ways of listening and cognitive behavioural tools to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
These methods are used together to match what a person needs in the moment. Jo has supported people dealing with grief, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep problems, parenting strain, and career stress. She also helps with ADHD, compassion fatigue, bipolar mood challenges, and chronic health concerns when these affect daily life.
Her focus includes body image, codependency and communication problems. Sessions are offered in English and Jo is able to work with international clients. Her listings explain how sessions are delivered and how a subscription plan works.
The aim is to make getting help straightforward for busy lives.

Online support
How Jo uses therapeutic approaches online
Jo combines systemic thinking with attachment-based and client-centred ways of working. Systemic work looks at patterns between people and how those patterns affect day-to-day wellbeing; it helps when relationships and repeated behaviours are part of the problem. Attachment-based work explores how early bonds shape emotional responses and trust, which can help with intimacy, grief or abandonment issues. Client-centred therapy centres the person’s experience, offering non-judgemental listening and helping clients find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is a shared task. Jo talks with each person about their goals, past experiences and what feels most useful. Together they try methods and adjust the plan as needed so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single technique.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins, reflection between sessions or people who express themselves better in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel.
