Jo Jorgensen, BACP

Jo Jorgensen is a BACP-registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She aims to make the first steps feel manageable for people who are anxious about starting therapy. Jo speaks English and welcomes clients from other countries as well.

She focuses on relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, and coping with life changes. She also helps people facing issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image concerns, communication problems, control and dependency struggles, and feelings of isolation or shame. Gender dysphoria, LGBT concerns, and matters around divorce, domestic violence and infidelity are among the topics she addresses.

Jo adapts sessions to each person. She listens first and works collaboratively to build an approach that suits practical needs and personal goals. Therapy draws on client-centred ways of working alongside cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic ideas, and trauma-focused methods where appropriate.

Sessions are straightforward and conversational. Clients can expect clear explanations of suggested steps and short-term goals when helpful. Jo offers support that aims to be respectful, sensitive and practical as people try out different ways of coping.

Her practice aims to help people regain a sense of direction after painful events or slow changes. She helps clients talk through difficult feelings, understand patterns that cause pain, and try new behaviours that fit their life. The emphasis is on steady progress and building tools that people can use outside sessions.

How Jo’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The counsellor offers empathy, acceptance and reflective listening to help people clarify what they want and need, which is useful for relationship issues, grief and identity concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try practical behaviour experiments. It is often used for depression, anxiety and coping with life changes because it teaches clear steps to change patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jo will help decide which methods suit a person's goals, pace and preferences, and will adapt the plan as progress or needs change. Decisions are collaborative and reviewed over time.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls offer face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler way to check in when screen time is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter, written exchanges or ongoing check-ins between sessions. These options give flexibility so people can choose what works best for them and their routines.
