I offer individual and couples counselling that’s grounded in empathy, honesty, and human connection. My approach is gentle, practical, and tailored to you — creating a safe space where you can feel heard, supported, and empowered to grow.
I’m passionate about helping people feel safe, seen, and understood. With a background in community services and a Bachelor of Counselling from Griffith University, I bring a down-to-earth, honest approach to therapy. Whether you’re working through anxiety, relationship struggles, or just need someone to talk to, I’ll meet you where you are — with empathy, curiosity, and no judgement.
I’m not here to judge — I’m here to listen. Every session is built on trust, warmth, and real human understanding.
Sessions are held in a warm, private space (or online), designed to help you feel comfortable opening up at your own pace.
Based on the Gold Coast, I offer down-to-earth, tailored support for individuals and couples — no cookie-cutter therapy.

Whether you’re seeking personal growth, navigating relationship hurdles, or just need someone to talk to — I offer individual and couples counselling tailored to your needs. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel truly heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.
Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, stress, grief, or just feeling stuck, individual therapy is a safe space to process what’s going on and begin to move forward. Jo uses a collaborative, person-centred approach to help you build resilience, gain clarity, and reconnect with yourself — at your pace, in your way.
From communication breakdowns to navigating major life changes, couples counselling creates space to better understand each other and strengthen your connection. Jo works with both partners to explore what’s really going on, improve emotional safety, and rebuild trust or intimacy — together.
Counselling is deeply personal — and so are the stories that come from it. Here’s what some of my clients have shared about their journey, and how our sessions helped them find clarity, confidence, and calm.
We entered counselling with Jo, feeling hopeless and desperate for a solution, and even though it’s been hard work, we now see a bright future working together in our marriage of over 30 years. Jo holds us accountable and has given us ways to communicate better. The experience has been truly life-changing.
Working with Jo has been a great experience. She has the ability to connect with her clients and provide insightful and direct feedback. Her compassionate approach helped me confront issues I had been avoiding for years. Jo's techniques and exercises were incredibly helpful, thank you, Jo!
Jo provided a safe space for me to to express my feelings and work through some family stuff. Jo is compassionate and gentle in her approach, but will challenge me too.
We saw Jo before we got married, just so we could get some tools on how to embrace our differences and appreciate our strengths as a couple and learn how to communicate through the difficult times.
