About me

My name is Jo Thacker

Finding the right counsellor for you is very important. The key to successful therapy is the relationship between you, the client, and me the counsellor. By working together, you can improve your life. It really does work and a better future is possible for you.

I am a qualified BACP Integrative Counsellor who offers a kind, caring, non-judgmental safe space for your sessions. Talking really does help. I am passionate about listening to people and will give you the time and space to talk. I have an interest in grief, trauma, and abuse with several years’ experience in this area. I 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.
