About Jo
Jo Almond is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with adults on common concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and coaching for professional life. Jo also supports people dealing with anger, grief, parenting pressures, sleep problems and issues around self-esteem and career change.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. Jo uses client-centred conversations to help people feel heard and to identify what matters most to them. She brings mindfulness techniques to help reduce tension and manage overwhelming thoughts. She also uses somatic ideas to notice how the body holds stress and anger, and trauma-focused methods when past events are blocking day-to-day functioning.
In sessions she encourages practical steps alongside reflection. That might mean trying new ways to communicate, testing short behavioural experiments, or practising breathing and grounding exercises between meetings. Jo pays attention to identity and difference, and she adapts the pace to each person’s needs.
Her work includes additional areas such as ADHD, addictions, adoption and foster care, caring roles, chronic illness, and issues linked to intimacy and attachment. She can help with coping after separation or loss, and with career-related stress.
People who book are asked to complete a brief questionnaire and arrange a first session. Jo uses a subscription model for sessions, and the subscription can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How Jo’s approaches translate to online sessions
Jo blends client-centred work with mindfulness and somatic elements. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person, which helps clarify priorities and choices in day-to-day situations. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and ease tension in the body and mind. Somatic Therapy looks at how stress and anger show up physically and uses body-based noticing to interrupt habitual reactions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jo will collaborate with each person to decide what helps most, adjusting techniques and pace according to their goals and preferences. That shared planning is used to choose practical exercises to try between sessions as well as in-session practices.
The profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around a busy day, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also allows people to practise mindfulness or grounding in their usual setting and to follow up with short between-session tasks that slot into everyday life.
