About Jo

Jo Botten holds a Master’s degree in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapeutic Counselling from the University of Cambridge and is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has five years of clinical experience providing psychotherapeutic counselling, working with adults and young people to address stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and related concerns such as self-harm and suicidal ideation.

As an integrative, person-centred counsellor, Jo blends established therapeutic methods to suit each person’s situation while maintaining a core focus on empathy, respect and collaboration. She sees clients both short term and long term, tailoring the pace and techniques to what each person needs and values. Her practice emphasises a warm, accepting and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship in which the client’s experience and strengths guide the work.

Jo supports people through challenging transitions and entrenched patterns alike, helping them explore attachment and abandonment issues, improve communication, manage mood and panic symptoms, and rebuild self-esteem. She encourages clients to take courageous first steps toward a more fulfilling life and offers steady professional support throughout the therapeutic process.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Jo Botten works from a person-centred approach, which emphasizes empathetic listening and supporting the client’s own insight and decision making. This approach helps people who are exploring their sense of self, self-esteem, relationship patterns and emotional struggles by creating space to be heard and understood.

She also practises an integrative approach, drawing on different evidence-based techniques to suit each person’s needs. Integrative work can combine practical strategies for managing anxiety or panic with deeper exploration of attachment, trauma and emotional responses, allowing flexibility in short-term and longer-term work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jo collaborates with clients to identify which methods feel most helpful, adjusting the focus and pace according to their goals, preferences and life circumstances.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offer practical benefits for many people - greater scheduling flexibility, reduced travel time and easier access for those living abroad or with mobility or caring responsibilities. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care and engage with therapy in a format that fits each person’s daily life while working with licensed professionals and therapists committed to effective support.
