About Jo Ahmed

Jo Ahmed is a counselling therapist based in the United Kingdom, accredited with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). With three years of practice across both private and public settings, Jo brings focused experience in work-related stress, family trauma, burnout and the impact of long-term health conditions. She also supports people facing anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem challenges, career transitions, ADHD and a wide range of attachment and family-related issues.

Jo practices in a client-centered way, prioritising the lived experience of each person and working from the belief that a supportive therapeutic environment helps people access their own capacity for change. She works collaboratively, aiming to bridge gaps in understanding and to create a space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings without having to repeatedly explain differences. Jo communicates in plain language, answers questions as they arise and avoids unnecessary jargon to keep clients at the centre of the process.

Her background spans roles in health and social care across public and private sectors, which informs her interest in the effects of workplace stress, systemic family hurts and the challenges faced by underrepresented, intersectional individuals. Jo draws on a range of therapeutic ideas as needed but remains grounded in client-centered principles, offering both short-term and longer-term work depending on each person’s needs. Jo aims to bring understanding rather than assumptions to sessions and to support clients as they navigate change and recovery.

Jo is not currently accepting new clients.

Could Remote Therapy Be the Right Choice?

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can genuinely help. For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and navigating major life changes - online therapy can be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person work, and is widely used as a treatment option.

One key benefit is flexibility. Individuals can connect in the way that fits their life and comfort level: via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. This range of options often makes it easier to maintain continuity of care alongside work, family and other commitments.

Therapists offering remote work are licensed professionals who use therapeutic skills to support clients across many areas of mental and emotional wellbeing. If a different therapeutic fit is needed, it is generally possible to switch therapists to find a better match. Online formats can make therapy more accessible for many people while preserving the core elements of therapeutic connection and collaborative work.
