About Jo
Jo Botten is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of clinical psychotherapeutic counselling experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
Jo trained at the University of Cambridge, gaining a Master's degree in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapeutic Counselling. Before her five years of clinical counselling she spent four years providing therapeutic mentoring. That mix of mentoring and clinical work shapes how she meets people in session.
She works in an integrative, person-centred way and describes clients as the experts on their own stories. In practice that means sessions centre on the person's experience, with the counsellor listening and reflecting to help clarify patterns and choices.
Jo regularly helps people talk through issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, communication problems and coping with chronic illness or pain. She also addresses mood concerns, panic attacks, guilt and shame, and the stresses that come with caregiving or major relationship changes.
Her approach makes room for both short-term and longer-term work. Practical conversations can look at communication skills, boundaries and problem solving. Longer work may follow attachment themes and past trauma at a slower pace.
To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Jo uses evidence-based approaches in online work
Jo describes her practice as integrative and person-centred, so online work often combines practical, evidence-based techniques with a relationship-focused way of working. One common approach helps people learn skills for managing anxiety and panic - for example, breathing and grounding exercises plus stepwise exposure to feared situations. These methods aim to reduce distress and increase confidence in everyday activities.Another strand of work focuses on attachment and relationship patterns. This looks at how past relationships shape current behaviour and communication, and uses reflective conversation to spot repetitive patterns and try different responses. That approach can help with relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns and communication problems.
Finding the right method is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which techniques suit their goals and preferences. Choices are reviewed as work progresses so the plan can change if something is not helpful.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In practice, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel. They also allow for shorter check-ins or longer sessions depending on what works for the person's schedule and needs.
