About me

My name is Jo Thacker

The key to successful therapy is the relationship between you, the client, and me the counsellor. Finding the right counsellor for you is very important. By working together, you can improve your life. I look forward to working alongside you in your therapy.

 

I am a qualified BACP Integrative Counsellor who specialises in helping those who are, or have been, involved with domestic abuse relationships, coercive control and narcissistic partners or family members. Trauma and grief are common responses to domestic abuse. I am passionate about listening to my clients and will give you the time and space to talk.   I also have first hand experience of military life and understand the stresses and strains that come with that for serving personnel, veterans, their spouses and families. ​

​

My approach is integrative which means that I draw on a variety of different therapeutic approaches depending on what therapy might suit you best. I hope to help you understand yourself better to assist you in making positive changes in your life. Counselling can change your life for the better.
