About Jo
Jo Stroud is a counsellor with ten years' experience who aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She offers straightforward, empathetic support and a calm presence during sessions. Jo focuses on helping people build self-awareness and practical coping skills for day-to-day life.
Jo has supported people managing trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue and the challenges that come with change. She also pays attention to parenting concerns, career pressures and the complex effects of attachment or abandonment issues.
Background and approach
Jo has a particular interest in working with people from the neurodiverse community and understands how that can affect relationships and mental health. Her work draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She mixes exercises and tools such as timelines, inner child work, emotional freedom techniques and stabilisation practices to match each person's needs.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit the individual. Jo is registered with NCPS and practises from the United Kingdom. She offers several online formats, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
These options make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments. Jo aims to help people notice patterns, learn new ways of coping and make gradual changes that stick. Her approach is warm and direct, focused on real, usable strategies rather than jargon.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jo will talk through different options and test techniques to see what suits a person's goals and preferences. That process is collaborative and adjusted as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversational work and visual exercises, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging offer shorter, more frequent contact and can help people keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
