Joanna 'Jo' Biegala, BACP

Joanna "Jo" Biegala is an integrative counsellor registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) who offers a compassionate and honest space for people to explore, process and acknowledge difficult thoughts, experiences and emotions without fear of judgement. With three years of professional experience, she has supported adults with complex mental health needs as well as children and young people aged 5 to 18, working with concerns such as anxiety, body image, depression, grief and self-esteem.

Jo believes that everyone has the right to shape how counselling looks for them, whether that means finding understanding and practical solutions or having an empathic place to express feelings. She works collaboratively, empowering each person to lead the therapeutic process and remain in control of the direction and pace of their work. Her approach is integrative, grounded in core person-centred skills to build a trusting therapeutic relationship and supplemented by methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), attachment-based therapy and solution-focused therapy. By combining these approaches she aims to enhance self-understanding, teach coping skills and support clients as they move forward and maintain emotional well-being beyond therapy.
