Hi, I’m Jojo.

​

I’m a BACP-registered therapeutic counsellor, a parent carer, with ADHD and Dyspraxia so I

​understand how heavy life can feel when you’ve been carrying too much for too long

 I was first diagnosed with dyspraxia at 28, and later — at 57 — with ADHD. During my

counselling training, a tutor gently named what I couldn’t yet see, and with time, research and

support, the pieces settled into place. That deep sense of recognition — of finally

understanding myself — is something I hold close in my work with others.

Alongside my professional training, I’m a parent carer to my son, who has Down’s syndrome,

additional needs and severe learning difficulties. Caring has taught me about love,

exhaustion, advocacy, grief, resilience and starting again — often all at once. I bring both lived

experience and professional understanding into the counselling space, because healing

doesn’t happen in theory. It happens in real, complicated lives.

I specialise in working with ADHD and other neurodivergent adults and young people (16+),

particularly around masking, burnout, overwhelm, and the feeling of being “too much” or “not

enough” in a world that asks us to constantly adapt.

My work is neuro-affirming, compassionate and non-judgemental. This is a space where you

don’t need to perform or explain yourself away. You’re welcome to unmask, soften, pause,

​​ramble, sit quietly, or show up exactly as you are.​​​

 

​​Working with me

​I work Holistically, meaning I draw from different approaches and shape the work around you

— not the other way round.

​​​At the heart of my work is relationship and understanding. ​​I’m not here to fix you or tell you

​how to be more organised. I’m here to sit alongsideyou, help you make sense of what’s going

​on, and support you in a way that actuallyworks for how your mind functions.​​​​​ — reconnecting

​with your inner wisdom, learning to listen to your nervous system, and gently untangling

​patterns that no longer serve you.

​​Alongside talking therapy, I may gently weave in CBT, breathwork, EFT, and NLP, when they

feel supportive and grounding. These tools are always offered with care, never imposed, and

always adapted to your pace and capacity.

We might explore mindset, self-belief, boundaries, and ways of supporting yourself that feel

nourishing rather than demanding. The work is steady, human and collaborative — rooted in

compassion, curiosity and respect for your lived experience.

I offer both short-term and longer-term counselling, depending on what you need. Some

people come with something specific they want to work through; others come because they

​feel disconnected, burnt out, or quietly lost.

​My style is warm, down to earth and very human. I have a sense of humour ( lets face

it, sometimes, if you don't laugh you will cry) and I believe therapy works best when it feels

​like a real conversation with a real person- not a clinical interrogation. I'm not here to analyse

you, fix you, or tell you how you should be coping. I'm here to listen, get curious with you and

walk along side you at your pace.​​​ Above all, I offer a calm, earthy space where you can

breathe out, feel held, again to come back home to yourself.
