Online sessions: approach and practical options
Jo takes an integrative stance to remote work, combining humanistic, psychodynamic and behavioural ideas to meet clients where they are. Her trauma-informed and LGBTQ+ affirming orientation informs how she frames conversations and attends to safety and respect. Sessions are collaborative, with regular review to make sure the chosen way of working continues to fit the client's needs.The humanistic element emphasizes present experience and the client's own strengths. The psychodynamic element invites gentle exploration of patterns and influences from earlier relationships. The behavioural element offers practical strategies and skills to address specific concerns. Together these approaches allow Jo to shift between reflective exploration and concrete tools depending on what a client prefers.
Jo provides online support via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These formats are offered so clients can choose the medium that best supports their participation and the kind of work they want to do.
