Hi I'm Jo
I'll be honest with you.....
Even Relationship Counsellors need help, after 18 years together my own marriage fell apart.
I've felt the shame and humiliation that came along with it.
Looking back we can see in being overly focused on our children, our work and our separate interests we lost each other.
We can see, that back then we didn't look deeply enough to understand what was really going on for us. We were stuck in patterns of blame, shut down and avoidance.
Our connection deteriorated due to the way we interacted (or didn't interact).
We separated for a few years and for the last 10 years have been consciously working hard on building a stronger connection as a couple.
When you work with me I'll bring my education and evidence based approach to therapy; my decades of professional experience working with couples, women and men; and also the depth of my life experience - relationships are hard, messy and you don't need to be judged for where you are at.
I'll meet you with understanding, knowledge, experience, compassion and respect.
I WORK WITH...
COUPLES
I help couples find lost passion, rebuild connection and provide new skills to turn towards each other during times of stress.
INDIVIDUALS
The most important relationship is the one you have with yourself, our sessions will help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships.
RELATIONSHIPS
I provide support and understanding to people through all relationships in their lives. It may be parent to child, siblings and even work colleagues.
