Jo Botten, BACP

Jo Botten is a UK-credentialed counsellor with a Master’s degree in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapeutic Counselling from the University of Cambridge. She brings nine years of professional experience to her practice, including four years providing therapeutic mentoring and five years delivering clinical psychotherapeutic counselling sessions. Jo works with clients in both short-term and long-term formats, supporting people facing stress and anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, and challenges with self-esteem. She has also worked extensively with suicidal ideation and self-harm.

Jo practices as an integrative, person-centred counsellor, which means she draws on a range of evidence-informed techniques while keeping the client’s perspective central. She believes people are the experts of their own stories and prioritises a warm, accepting, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship to help clients identify and build on their strengths. In therapy she aims to create a calm space where practical coping strategies and deeper exploration can coexist, tailored to each person’s needs and goals.

Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life requires courage, and Jo offers steady support throughout that process. She collaborates with clients to set directions, respond to setbacks, and foster lasting change over time.
