My name is Jo. I am  a  Counsellor, Psychotherapist, Special Education Teacher,  Sandplay Therapist and Expressive Arts Therapist.  I enjoy being part of the healing and transformative power of expressive art  therapy, and how this can help people to heal, grow and create a meaningful life. 

I am passionate about working with clients who have experienced complex trauma and who subsequently experience mental health challenges.  I enjoy using creative psychotherapies, particularly Sandplay Therapy and Guided Drawing to help the healing process.  I am a person centred therapist who values my client's lived experience. I am a trauma-informed Art Therapist and use psychological interventions from approaches such as mindfulness, sensory-motor psychotherapy, and other body centred  approaches.
