Joanne (Jo) Webster, NCPS

Joanne (Jo) Webster is a professionally accredited psychotherapeutic counsellor registered with the NCPS, a professional registration for psychotherapeutic counsellors, and she practises from the United Kingdom. With ten years of experience, she offers an empathetic, approachable style and a commitment to tailoring care to each person's needs. Jo works from an integrated and pluralistic framework, drawing on a range of theories and techniques such as humanistic and person centred approaches, transactional analysis, cognitive behavioural therapy, solution-focused work and psychodynamic ideas to respond to the unique circumstances of each client.

She has particular expertise in bereavement and loss, including extensive experience supporting people affected by terminal illness and their families during pre and post-bereavement stages. Over seven years working in palliative care informed her understanding of complex grief, loss of babies or children, sudden or traumatic deaths, and end-of-life issues. In addition to grief, Jo supports people facing stress and anxiety, family and relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, addiction, attachment and abandonment concerns, and challenges linked to major life changes.

Jo has worked therapeutically with adults, children and young people, and with individuals, couples and groups. She describes her practice as collaborative and person-focused, adapting methods to fit the client rather than expecting the client to fit a single model. Colleagues and clients note her attentive listening, trustworthy manner and genuine care for the people she works with. She welcomes those taking the first steps toward support and offers a considerate, experience-led approach to therapy.
