Therapy as individual as you are.

Verbalising our feelings has been shown to have a therapeutic effect on our brain and nervous system, as well as providing significant + lasting positive benefits that allows us to be mentally well and this spills into and improves all areas allowing us to be healthy and happy and

enjoy this one beautiful life.

If you are new to therapy I know it can be daunting, meeting someone you don’t really know all that well yet, and talking and being vulnerable with them can initially bring up feelings of overwhelm or anxiety, this is perfectly natural and it is my job to ensure a safe space for you to land where you are able to think, feel and be entirely yourself. 


Everything is done in a way where you feel comfortable, I work in a collaborative manner and our sessions and time together is completely tailored to you.

This is your time and i am here for you.

    -Tiana. B

  • Working with Jo has been an amazing experience! Before starting with her I felt like I was in a fog. No direction. No motivation. No vision and beyond stressed and I can say with confidence that I see my future and my goals much more clearly now and Jo helped me to reduce my stress level and find more enjoyment in life as a whole.

    Jo has helped me find joy in my again and i cannot recommend Jo enough, she is genuine, kind, and knowledgable, and has sincerely helped me!

    -Sara. A | Intern Therapist

  • Before starting with Jo I was struggling within myself and often breaking down without knowing why, I didn’t believe in myself and zero confidence. Jo instantly made me feel comfortable and my life has changed for the better from our time together.

    Jo is incredibly amazing and I can’t thank her enough for what she has done for me. She makes you feel important and that you’re not alone on this journey.

    I just know others will find as much satisfaction from working with Jo as I have.

    -Rachel. E

  • The amount of times I've gone in to a session with Jo feeling like crap, confused and I always leave feeling so much better. Inspired. Empowered. Motivated. Safe. Understood. Reassured. Lighter.

    She has been an angel for the last 3 months. Always there. I trust her. She is so easy to talk to, open up with, be vulnerable with. Zero judgement. That is priceless

    I can forget everything else, leave everything at the door and take the time for me and I always leave feeling grounded and re-aligned.

    -Morgan. T

  • I reached out to work with Jo at a time when I felt incredibly stuck with no movement happening at all in my life. Jo has this way about her that instantly instilled a deep trust in me to be able to open up, a combination of her professional skills, and her as a person.

    We quickly and gently moved to the core of the problem, and Jo helped me connect with my true self. It takes a special person to reach down with their insight and words to the truth by clearing away the stories so lovingly. And that is how special and talented Jo is. She is the perfect person to have on your side as you seek to be the best you can be. I am so grateful.

    -Ainslie. D

  • Before I reached out to Jo I was struggling to manage my own emotions, and maintain a work-life balance and overall happiness.

    I felt a little nervous going into our first session as I wasn’t sure what to expect but I instantly felt so safe talking to Jo and by the end of the first session I was feeling positive with a clear direction and knew how to start making changes to get where I wanted to be and this continues to grow and get better every time we have a session.

    Since working with Jo I feel I have been able to stop judging myself as much as I was. I am definitely appreciating me more, and so other areas of life are falling into place more and more everyday :-)

    Jo is so inspiring and supportive!

    -Sarah. C

  • When I first connected with Jo, I was frazzled and had feelings of doubt, not being good enough, and I felt like there was too much to do and not enough time.

    Jo has a real gift for helping clients, she was really there when I was going through some challenges and feeling strong feelings of self doubt. I love her warm nature and calm presence and she is so generous and encouraging.

    I can't thank you enough Jo.

    -Bianca. V.M

  • Jo Kendall may be one of the sweetest, warmest and most nurturing people I have been lucky enough to come across, not to mention exceptionally good at what she does.

    From our very first contact I felt completely drawn to her energy and at such a tumultuous time of my life, her calming approach was exactly what I needed. I came away from every session feeling better and empowered, like i could do the hard things and move through all i was facing.

    Talking with Jo left me energised and balanced every time. I felt validated, understood and supported at every moment.

    Jo I can't thank you enough. I would absolutely recommend you to anyone who is looking for a heart centred, soul driven counsellor + coach to embark on a beautiful journey with.
