Jo Titchmarsh

I  have availability at present for new clients 

Hello I鈥檓 Jo, an experienced, accredited relational therapist. I work integratively, drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches to suit your unique needs. In addition, I am a trauma informed practitioner with specific training in this area. 

I am committed in offering you a warm, safe, confidential and supportive space to help you in your journey towards healing and growth. I understand the importance of feeling that you 鈥渇it鈥� with your counsellor and my aim is to make you feel safe and comfortable in the therapeutic relationship whilst I support you on your counselling journey.

I offer an initial free, no obligation 20 minute conversation. This gives you an opportunity to ask any questions you may have about counselling and gives us both the opportunity to decide if we would like to work together.

I am a professionally qualified and experienced integrative psychotherapist. This means that I draw on different therapeutic approaches to meet your individual needs and goals.

鈥↖ am a warm and empathic person. You are your own expert. I will listen to you, ask questions and tune into how your experiences have impacted you. I believe that you are unique so your counselling will be tailored to your own individual needs. In your counselling, it may be helpful to explore your previous experiences and relationships in order to understand the impact of these on you in the present. We could work together to identify and understand any restrictive patterns of behaviour which can lead to positive change, freedom and empowerment. We will work at your pace to equip you with tools for you to feel stronger, to lead a more fulfilled life and cope with future challenges that may arise. 鈥�

I studied at MA level at the University of Leeds and have extensive experience of working in private practice. I have also worked for a counselling charity as their Counselling Service Manager.

鈥↖ am an Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (麻豆原创). I work in accordance with 麻豆原创's Ethical Framework. I am committed to my professional development and engage in regular training and CPD.

鈥↖ can offer face to face sessions in the centre of Harrogate.鈥ㄢ�↖ can also offer video sessions via Microsoft Teams, or telephone sessions.

Each therapy session will last 50 minutes. I offer both short term therapy for focused goals, and longer term therapy for deeper exploration.

Qualifications

Our first session (after the free no obligation phone call) is about getting to know you and what specifically brings you to counselling, your hopes for counselling etc. I have a new client  form which can be completed and emailed before the first session if you prefer.
