ABOUT ME

IMG_8640.jpg

Hi, I’m Jo.

I’m a qualified hypnotherapist and psychotherapist offering 1:1 therapy for people who are ready to feel different… not just understand their patterns, but truly shift them.

Most of the clients who come to me are capable, thoughtful and self-aware. They’ve read the books. They’ve tried to think positively. They know what they should be doing.

And yet… they still feel stuck.

Stuck in anxiety that flares up out of nowhere.

Stuck in habits they promised themselves they’d stop.

Stuck in overthinking, procrastination, people-pleasing, burnout or low mood.

Stuck in cycles that feel frustratingly familiar.

This is because many of the patterns we struggle with don’t live in the conscious, logical mind.

They live deeper - in the unconscious.

Hypnotherapy works with the part of your mind responsible for emotional responses, automatic behaviours, beliefs about yourself, and your nervous system’s sense of safety. Instead of forcing change with willpower, we work at a calm, regulated level where your mind can update old patterns safely and sustainably.

When the nervous system feels safe, change happens more naturally.

With my background in yoga, meditation and nervous system regulation, sessions are not clinical or rushed. They are steady, grounded and deeply supportive - this is collaborative work.

In our sessions, you’ll learn to:

• Understand why your mind responds the way it does

• Regulate anxiety and overwhelm

• Break self-sabotaging cycles

• Reduce cravings and unwanted habits

• Build self-trust and emotional resilience

• Feel more in control of your reactions

• Reconnect with a calmer, steadier version of yourself

Hypnotherapy is not about losing control. It’s about gaining it, gently.

Many clients describe leaving sessions feeling lighter, clearer and more at ease in their own mind. Over time, they notice they respond differently. They feel less reactive. Decisions feel easier. Old triggers lose their charge.

If you’re tired of fighting yourself and ready to understand your mind at a deeper level, this work could be for you.

I offer 1:1 sessions in a quiet, nurturing therapy space in Bournemouth, as well as online.

You’re welcome to get in touch with any questions or to arrange an initial session. Sometimes the first step is simply deciding you don’t want to stay stuck anymore.

My Fees



20 minute discovery call - complimentary
 

Single session - £80 per session
 

Block of 4 sessions - £256
 

In my experience, meaningful and lasting change often begins to consolidate over a series of sessions rather than just one. While every person is different, many clients find that around four sessions allows enough time to understand the root of a pattern, regulate the nervous system, and begin embedding new responses at a deeper level.
 

For this reason, I offer a block of four sessions at a 25% reduced rate of £256. This provides continuity, commitment and the space for real integration rather than quick fixes.
 

You are, of course, welcome to book single sessions, but if you know you’re ready to properly engage in the process, the four-session block offers both value and momentum.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

 
 
 
"Over the past two years I have seen Jo for help with a couple of issues I had been experiencing. I have had online sessions with her, and also recently I have been to her new therapy room. This is a truly wonderful, relaxing experience and Jo really puts you at ease. She seems to intuitively know the best course of action and she has given me some very useful insight and advice to take into my own life. She follows up with me after sessions, and she has sent me some hypnotherapy recordings to listen to at home. I find these very helpful. I can highly recommend Jo as an excellent therapist"
