Most of us experience distress during our lives and seeking support should be natural and easy. Jo’s approach is relational and with purpose. Jo finds it useful to monitor change and results to ensure that the client is getting what they need from their counselling journey.
Jo’s counselling approach is pluralistic, mainly encompassing Person-Centred Therapy with Solution Focused Brief Therapy. Jo holds a Bachelor of Counselling Degree and upholds herself to the New Zealand Association of Counsellors (NZAC) Code of Ethics of which she is currently a member.
Jo believes the best therapy is a combination that suits the client depending on where they are at and the style that will resonate with them to help them move forward into their more positive future.
Extra curricular activities
In addition to her work in private practice, Jo serves as the Community Advocate for the Nelson Tasman Multiple Sclerosis Society. In this role, she finds great fulfilment in connecting with community members, offering support, and helping them access local services and supports.
