Counselling in Crewe, Cheshire — About Jo
Some things are hard to speak about. Some have been carried for a long time. Whether what has brought you here is recent or has deep roots — trauma, loss, the aftermath of abuse, or the particular pressures of a life lived in or around military service — Jo offers a space where you can take your time.
Jo is a qualified integrative counsellor based in Crewe, Cheshire, offering face-to-face sessions in CW2 alongside online and telephone counselling for adults across the UK. She holds an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling from a BACP Accredited Training Course and is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She also holds an IARTT Certificate in Rewind Trauma Therapy — an additional specialist approach for processing traumatic memories.
Jo specialises in trauma, domestic violence and abuse, childhood abuse, bereavement, and mental health. She has extensive experience supporting survivors of domestic and childhood abuse and brings a depth of understanding and sensitivity to this work. She also has considerable experience with military life — understanding the unique stresses and challenges faced by serving personnel, veterans, and their families — and welcomes this community as a named client group.
Background & Experience
Jo’s specialist background in trauma and abuse has been shaped by extensive training and direct clinical experience. Her IARTT Certificate in Rewind Trauma Therapy gives her an additional evidence-based tool for working with traumatic memories — an approach that can be particularly effective where other trauma processing methods have not yet been accessible or helpful.
Her understanding of military life goes beyond general awareness. Jo has extensive experience with the specific stressors that come with service life — operational stress, transition to civilian life, the impact on relationships and families, and the particular ways in which trauma can present in veterans and serving personnel. This experience makes her a genuinely well-placed counsellor for this community, not simply one who is willing to work with them.
Jo has also completed training in working with survivors of domestic abuse, safeguarding, bereavement and loss, trauma, complex trauma, and mindfulness for life. She holds a Level 2 Certificate in Understanding Autism, which informs her work with autistic clients. All of this training background supports and deepens her primary clinical practice rather than representing standalone services.
Jo works with individual clients on a private basis and also supports those referred through EAP arrangements and one-off organisational referrals. She maintains regular professional supervision and is committed to ongoing professional development.
Therapeutic Approach
Jo’s practice is integrative, drawing on several therapeutic frameworks and applying them according to what each individual client needs.
Integrative and Person-Centred Counselling
Jo’s integrative approach means she draws on a range of therapeutic models rather than applying a single fixed method. At its core is a Person-Centred foundation — placing you, your experience, and your pace at the centre of the work. This creates a warm, non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings and experiences freely, without pressure or agenda. Integrative counselling in Crewe and online across the UK.
Rewind Trauma Therapy
The Rewind Technique — also known as the Visual/Kinaesthetic Dissociation (VKD) technique — is a well-established, evidence-informed approach for processing traumatic memories. Developed within the Human Givens framework, it works by helping the brain reconsolidate distressing memories in a way that reduces their emotional charge and intrusiveness. It is a relatively brief, structured intervention that does not require the client to relive their trauma in detail. Jo holds the IARTT Certificate in Rewind Trauma Therapy and uses this as an additional approach alongside her integrative counselling work. Rewind Trauma Therapy in Crewe and online.

Military personnel, veterans and families
Jo has considerable experience with military life and understands the particular stresses and challenges that come with it — operational pressure, transitions back to civilian life, the impact on close relationships, and the specific ways trauma can present in this community.
