How I can help...
Sometimes you know something doesn’t feel quite right, but you’re not sure why or what to do about it.
There’s no shortage of self-help advice online. But understanding what you should do is one thing. Knowing how to do it is another.
That’s where Friendly Therapist is different.
Drawing on my background in counselling, I bring together practical guidance, self-reflection, meditation and guided exercises to help you understand yourself better and make meaningful changes in your everyday life.
You’ll find more than ideas to think about. You’ll discover practical tools, techniques and step-by-step guidance that you can actually use, helping you turn understanding into action.
You don’t need to have everything figured out. You can simply start where you are.

Why Friendly Therapist?
I’m Jo, a qualified counsellor and meditation teacher.
One of the most rewarding parts of counselling for me is watching someone’s self-awareness grow. That lightbulb moment when they begin to understand why they behave or react the way they do, recognise what triggers those reactions and identify patterns they’ve developed over time. It’s often this understanding that opens the door to meaningful change.
I created Friendly Therapist to help people experience those moments of discovery for themselves, in the comfort of their own homes and at their own pace.
Drawing on my experience in counselling, meditation and holistic therapies, I’ve developed practical resources that encourage self-awareness while providing the guidance, tools and exercises to help people turn their discoveries into positive changes.
Whether you’re looking for a self-guided alternative to one-to-one counselling or additional support alongside it, Friendly Therapist offers a practical way to explore, understand and work on yourself.
