About Jo
Jo Almond is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and those looking for coaching in professional settings. Jo also lists support for issues such as addiction, ADHD, grief, parenting strains, sleep problems and codependency.
Her approach starts from a client-centred stance. That means conversations focus on what matters to the person in front of her. She listens for patterns - like people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or living around someone else’s moods - and helps clients notice how those patterns affect daily life.
Jo blends mindfulness and somatic ideas into sessions. She uses grounding and breath-based practices to help people manage anxiety and overwhelming feelings. She also works with trauma-informed techniques to help people process past hurts at a pace they can tolerate.
Sessions tend to be practical and conversational. Jo helps people name their priorities, try smaller boundary experiments, and reflect on what felt different afterwards. For people coping with professional stress she brings coaching skills to focus on goals and next steps.
Her practice recognises diverse identities and neurodiversity. Jo says she pays attention to how disability, diagnosis or identity shape a person’s experience. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the site instructions to arrange an initial meeting.
How sessions work
How Jo’s approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s concerns at the heart of the work. Online conversations focus on what matters now, with the counsellor listening and reflecting to help clarify priorities and next steps. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce anxiety and ground awareness; these exercises can be guided during a session and practised between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jo will work collaboratively to decide whether client-centred conversation, mindfulness exercises, somatic noticing or trauma-focused techniques fit best for the current concern. That choice is based on a person’s goals, how they react to different methods, and practical needs such as the length and pacing of sessions.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work and family life, or prefer shorter check-ins when juggling a busy day. Others like having guided breathing or body awareness exercises led by the counsellor while they are in a familiar setting. Discussing format and timing early on helps make sessions useful and workable for everyday life.
