I'm am so grateful my husband and I chose marriage counselling especially finding Jo on our search. Jo is so welcoming, calming, kind hearted and warming it made my husband and myself both feel comfortable. It also made us be able to be honest and truthful to get the right guidance and tools to help rebuild and strengthen our relationship. My husband and I are now stronger and much more connected than we ever have been before. Thank you so much Jo! I highly recommend Jo to anyone seeking out marriage counselling and also individual counselling. Jo is a great listener and really helps with any issues

Jo is one of the best counsellors I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Not only are our conversations deeply insightful but they open up a world of possibilities, where before I met Jo, I could only see 1 limited path. Jo hasn't changed my views or mindset, she gives me the tools to explore, grow and become the person I truly wish to be.

Paul and I started seeing jo to better our relationship together, we felt as though we had a great relationship though knew with the right tools in our heads we could be a fantastic couple who could do anything in life and counselling could provide those tools for us. We walked into the first session and within an hour had felt so calm and relaxed that our trust in jo and her techniques to help us as a couple had proved itself without doubt that we chose then and there to continue to see jo for further sessions. Either it be a one on one session or a couple session, an hour session or a 2 hour

Never before have I connected so quickly with someone in this field and every time I leave there is a sense of hope as well as tangible measures and activities that I can practice at home. I highly recommend seeing Jo, she's one of the kindest, enthusiastic, supportive, positive, considerate people I've ever met and I have no doubt that others will benefit from talking to her as
