About Jo
Jo Almond is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and offers executive and professional coaching.
Jo focuses on practical work in sessions. She encourages people to talk through current problems and patterns that keep them stuck. She also pays attention to how identity, disability or diagnosis shape someones experience.
When anger is part of the picture she helps people notice triggers and unhelpful cycles. Sessions can cover what happens physically and emotionally, how patterns show up in close relationships, and small changes to reduce flare-ups at work or at home.
Her style draws on client-centred practice and mindfulness alongside body-based somatic approaches and trauma-focused work. That means conversations are based on the persons priorities, paired with exercises that build awareness of breath, body responses and grounding.
Jo also supports career-related concerns and coaching goals. People exploring performance pressure, workplace frustration or decisions about next steps can use coaching sessions to set concrete aims and plan manageable steps.
She asks questions, reflects what she hears and works collaboratively to find what helps. To start, a short matching questionnaire and a first session are used to agree priorities and a way forward.
How Jo uses client-centred and body-aware approaches online
Jo draws on client-centred therapy to keep sessions focused on the person's goals and priorities. This means the client sets the agenda and Jo reflects back what she hears to help clarify thinking and decide next steps.She also uses mindfulness techniques to build present-moment awareness, such as simple breathing and attention exercises that reduce reactivity. Somatic therapy is used to help people notice bodily signals - tightness, breath changes or tension - and learn small grounding practices to interrupt automatic flare-ups. These approaches can be useful for stress, anger, trauma and workplace pressure.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Jo will work with the client to identify what helps most, adjusting methods based on needs, goals and personal preference rather than assuming one route fits everyone.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as options are set by the practice. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday or to use shorter check-ins when time is tight. They also allow practical exercises to be tried between meetings and reviewed in the next session, which can help build new responses to anger and stress over time.
