Jo Weir

Jo's work is rooted in a humanistic approach, emphasising the significance of and providing the fertile environment for you to grow into your true self. Through the time spent together in sessions, you will have the opportunity to explore your sense of self, and what may be causing you distress or perhaps holding you back from being accepting of yourself. Your journey is unique to you, and as such, Jo will facilitate a bespoke pathway which is concentrated on the here and now; facing current challenges with the wisdom learnt from past experiences. Jo is especially experienced in working with trauma and the impact that can have on an individual: psychologically, emotionally and somatically. She can help in forming a new understanding and interventions, which evokes resilience, acceptance and empowerment for survivors.

When working with couples Jo acknowledge every relationship is unique as are the individuals in the partnership. As such, she facilitates a trusted, supportive and safe space for the elements of the relationship, issues and connected emotions to be heard and explored with a focus on resolution that is both enriching and meaningful. Jo assists with issues such as ineffective communication, escalating arguments, infidelity, impacts of a professional life on the relationship, loss of intimacy or sexual desire or the impact of a loss of a child has on a relationship. Relationship work can also look at coping with a separation or divorce, recognising co-dependency traits that may be affecting meaningful relationships alongside working with the difficulties blended families may experience. Jo has a passion for helping those suffering with mental health difficulties, especially depression, anxiety and couples work. She pride herself on connecting with her clients on a deep level and value the strength and power of the therapeutic relationship to promote healing and progression. Helping to identify ways to be free of painful symptoms that can hold a person back and collaboratively working to carve out new ways of coping and preventing relapses in the future. "This time is for you, for your voice to be heard and for your healing to begin, it would be my privilege to support you through this".
