Michelle Jo, BACP

Michelle Jo is a BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She combines a background in psychology with mindfulness practice to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression, motivation and self-esteem difficulties. Michelle values a collaborative approach that recognises each person as the expert in their own life and seeks to build on existing strengths to promote meaningful change.

Over a four-year period she completed a Level 1 Train to Teach Mindfulness Certificate delivered by the Mindfulness Association, and she integrates mindfulness tools such as breathing exercises, body scans and guided meditation into therapeutic work. In addition to mindfulness, Michelle uses practical skill-building like assertiveness training and healthy communication techniques to help clients navigate relationship and interpersonal challenges.

Psychoeducation is an important element of her practice, helping people to better understand their patterns and responses so they can make informed choices about change. Her training in psychology underpins a flexible approach that draws on evidence-informed methods, including acceptance and awareness strategies and supportive, client-centred listening. Michelle aims to empower people to take courageous steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.
