Jo
Williams
Counsellor in Harpenden (MBACP)
Hello and welcome. My name is Jo. I am an experienced counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I offer in-person counselling in Harpenden as well as online.
​
I believe everyone is unique, shaped by different life experiences, challenges and needs. I offer a blended approach to counselling, working both integratively and in a trauma-informed way, allowing me to work effectively with people as individuals.
​
My expertise include working with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, survivors of abuse, loss and relationship issues. I am also passionate about providing support for people living with or affected by cancer. I understand the emotional complexity of being given a life changing diagnosis and the emotional, relational and practical impact it has.
Whatever the reason you are here, I can support you to make the changes you want to see in your life. Whatever issue or difficult feelings you may be experiencing, you will be met with warmth and understanding. As a trained trauma therapist, we can also work creatively and somatically - paying attention to the body and the breath to help ground the nervous system.. ​​
​
I run a small private practice in Harpenden, working with adults and young people over the age of 18. I see people in-person from my welcoming and peaceful room in the centre of town, or I offer online counselling where you can meet me at a time that suits you from the comfort of your own home. You may like a combination of both if this suit your needs.
​
I work with clients from Harpenden, St Albans, Redbourn, Wheathampstead, Luton, Welwyn Garden City, Stevenage and across the UK.

How counselling can help
You may have found yourself here because you’re feeling overwhelmed or unable to cope with your thoughts and feelings. Maybe you’re experiencing anxiety or depression, possibly brought on by low self-worth, a difficult relationship, a loss, or traumatic event. Perhaps you're not really sure what’s troubling you. Whatever it is you don’t have to manage on your own. If anything from your past or present is interfering with your self-worth or peace of mind, counselling can help. I offer a warm and welcoming confidential space where you can talk about your difficulties without the fear of being judged. I will be alongside you, helping you to move forward and begin a more fulfilling life.

I work online and from my therapy room in central Harpenden in Hertfordshire. It is easily accessible from St Albans, Redbourn, Welwyn Garden City, Hatfield and Luton.
