Jo Reidy

Jo Reidy is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience supporting people through stressful life moments. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, addiction and anger. Jo aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and straightforward.

She creates an open space for people to talk about difficult feelings without fear of judgment. Conversations are plain and direct, and Jo helps clients name what is happening and decide what they want to try next. She encourages small, practical steps alongside deeper reflection.

Jo draws on approaches that look at relationships and emotion. That can mean noticing how past attachments shape present reactions. It can also involve practical thinking tools to change unhelpful patterns.

She has worked across a range of concerns including trauma, eating difficulties, grief, intimacy issues and challenges linked to work or parenting. Jo also supports people facing burnout, compassion fatigue and complex changes in life direction.

People who choose Jo tend to want a straightforward, compassionate counsellor who listens and helps form clear next steps. To begin, the site matching process helps pair you with a counsellor and arrange sessions at times that suit you.

Approaches that guide online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current emotions and reactions. It helps people who feel overwhelmed by strong feelings or who keep repeating painful relationship patterns. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's experience in the moment and on being heard; it suits people who need a steady, accepting space to think things through. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, gives practical tools for spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours to reduce anxiety or anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jo will work together with each person to agree what feels most useful, drawing on discussion and early sessions to adapt the way she works. That means the approach can shift as goals and needs become clearer.

If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or offering a way to meet outside local services. Registered or accredited professionals use a range of approaches online and will help you decide what suits your situation and routines.
