About Jo-Ann

Jo-Ann Kempster is a relationally trained psychotherapist and counsellor who helps people make sense of moments when life feels overwhelming. She works with clients to explore patterns of thinking and relating that can leave them stuck - such as overthinking, low motivation, and difficulties with self-esteem - and supports them in discovering clearer ways to cope and move forward.

With five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom, Jo-Ann brings practical, compassionate care to people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, parenting concerns, and other life transitions. She also works with clients on confidence, career questions, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and compassion fatigue, tailoring her approach to each person’s needs.

Jo-Ann is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which recognises trained counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. She emphasises respect, sensitivity, and compassion in therapeutic work and collaborates with clients to create a personalised treatment plan. Jo-Ann aims to empower people to build healthier coping mechanisms and to take courageous first steps toward a more satisfying and balanced life.

Relational approaches and accessible online care

Jo-Ann draws on relational training to help clients examine how their patterns of relating to others and to themselves influence wellbeing. This approach explores interactions, attachment, and communication patterns to support improvements in relationships and emotional understanding. She also uses evidence-based, skills-focused techniques that teach practical coping tools - for example, ways to manage stress, reduce anxiety, and build self-esteem - tailored to each person’s concerns and goals.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Jo-Ann collaborates with clients to identify which strategies fit their needs, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the plan over time as progress is made. This collaborative process helps ensure the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexible access to that process through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, to maintain continuity when life changes, and to receive support from different locations. Registered professionals and therapists can adapt methods to each format so clients can make steady progress in a way that suits them.
