Joanne (Jo) Webster, NCPS

Joanne (Jo) Webster is a professionally accredited psychotherapeutic counsellor registered with the NCPS and based in the United Kingdom. She works from an integrated, pluralistic framework that allows her to draw on a range of therapeutic theories and techniques to meet each person’s needs. Her practice includes humanistic and person-centred approaches, transactional analysis, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), solution-focused work and psychodynamic methods.

Jo has substantial experience supporting adults, children and young people in one-to-one, couple and group settings. A particular area of expertise is bereavement and loss; having worked in palliative care for seven years, she supported patients living with terminal diagnoses as well as family members through both pre-bereavement and post-bereavement stages. She has also supported people affected by the death of a baby, child or young person and adults grieving the loss of a partner, parent, relative or friend.

Her wider clinical work has addressed stress, anxiety, depression, PTSD, self-esteem concerns, trauma, attachment and relationship difficulties, addiction and abuse. She tailors her counselling style to the individual or family she is working with, recognising that a single approach does not suit everyone. Joanne describes herself as empathic, approachable and trustworthy, and she emphasises careful listening and genuine care in her therapeutic relationships.
