Jo completed her undergraduate psychology training in Scotland, and holds a Masters of Clinical Psychology from the University of the Sunshine Coast. She has experience in working with clients in both the private and community sectors and has worked in both regional and rural settings.
Jo has a passion for supporting people to better understand themselves, recognise their strengths, build self-confidence, and feel empowered to live authentically. She celebrates the uniqueness of people and their individual values. Jo is warm, authentic, and non-judgmental in her approach, and believes it is a privilege to be a part of her clients’ journeys.
Jo works with adults to better understand and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaving that negatively impact on their wellbeing. These patterns could include generally not feeling good enough as a person; being attracted to unhealthy relationships; being self-critical or perfectionistic; struggling to find balance in life and always prioritising work or achievement at the cost of fun and relaxation; people pleasing and feeling fearful of saying no; or focusing on the negative and thinking the worst is going to happen. Jo feels passionate about giving her clients the tools to understand their life patterns, learn how they developed, and empower themselves to heal them. She believes that, with the right support and environment, everyone has the potential to build a life that aligns with their individual needs and values.
Jo has a special interest in working with people who find themselves in repeated patterns of unhealthy relationships, including survivors of narcissistic abuse, and supporting them to understand and heal from their experiences. She is also experienced in providing evidence-based treatments for anxiety disorders including generalised anxiety disorder, panic disorder and social anxiety disorder, and working with people who have experienced childhood trauma. Jo mainly uses Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Schema Therapy (ST) in her work.
