Jo Botten, BACP

Jo Botten holds a master’s degree in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapeutic Counselling from the University of Cambridge, an advanced university qualification focused on therapeutic work with young people. She brings nine years of professional experience to her practice, including four years of therapeutic mentoring and five years providing clinical psychotherapeutic counselling.

She works in an integrative, person-centred way, combining approaches to fit each person’s needs while maintaining a respectful focus on the client as the expert in their own story. Her clinical work covers short-term and long-term support for stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, trauma and abuse. She has also worked extensively with suicidal ideation and self-harm.

Jo aims to build a warm, accepting, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship where clients can explore challenges and draw on their strengths. She supports people as they take the often-difficult first steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life and offers steady, compassionate guidance throughout the therapeutic process.
