About Jo
Jo Botten is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of clinical counselling experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship troubles, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
Jo trained at the University of Cambridge with a Masters degree in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapeutic Counselling. Her background includes four years providing therapeutic mentoring and five years offering clinical counselling. That mix means she has experience supporting both shorter term practical work and longer term talking therapy.
She describes her approach as integrative and person-centred. That means she listens to what matters to the client and draws on different evidence-based techniques to respond to those needs. Practical, conversational sessions focus on the client’s strengths and on clear steps they can try between meetings.
Jo has worked with people facing suicidal thoughts and self-harm, and with a wide range of concerns such as panic attacks, attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress. She also supports people dealing with communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and questions about life purpose.

Ways Jo works online and therapeutic approaches
Jo uses an integrative, person-centred way of working, which means she starts by listening to the person’s concerns and then draws on evidence-based techniques that fit those concerns. Person-centred work focuses on understanding the client’s perspective, building a collaborative relationship, and helping the client use their own strengths to make changes.Another commonly used approach in her practice is talking therapy informed by techniques that target anxiety and panic. These techniques aim to help people notice patterns in their thoughts and reactions, practise manageable steps for facing difficult situations, and develop clearer communication around relationship and family issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jo will help figure out which techniques suit a client’s goals and preferences, and will adapt the plan as progress is made. This is a collaborative process where the client’s experience guides decisions about what to try next.
The profile does not specify which online formats are provided, so please confirm the available session types before booking. Online work often makes it easier to fit therapy around daily life, for example by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins, or fitting a session into a break from work. Many people find those practical benefits helpful when arranging regular appointments.
