Joanne (Jo) Webster

Joanne (Jo) Webster is a qualified, accredited Psychotherapeutic Counsellor who has been practising since 2015 and is based and trained in the United Kingdom. With ten years of experience, she supports people across a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, family and relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and coping with life changes.

Jo works with adults, children and young people, and has experience delivering therapy to individuals, couples and groups. She practices as a female therapist and adopts an Integrated Approach to counselling and psychotherapy, drawing on Humanistic, Person-Centred, Transactional Analysis, CBT, Solution-Focussed and Psychodynamic methods to suit each person’s needs.

One of Jo’s specialist areas is bereavement and loss. Having spent seven years working in palliative care, she has supported patients with terminal diagnoses and their family members during both pre-bereavement and post-bereavement stages. She has experience supporting people who have experienced the death of a baby, child or young person due to life-limiting conditions or sudden and/or traumatic events, as well as adults grieving the loss of a parent, partner, relative or friend.

Other presenting issues Jo has worked with include depression, PTSD, self-esteem, attachment difficulties, addiction and abuse, alongside broader family and relationship problems. Her therapeutic approach is always tailored to the individual or group she is working with, recognising that one style does not suit everyone. She is known to be empathic, approachable and trustworthy, a good listener who genuinely cares about the people she works with.
