Jo Brown
Affordable Counselling Service

Hi there, I have always been interested in psychology and have worked in the NHS for 30 years as a nurse and a midwife. During this time, I often felt that people could benefit from listening and being listened to more, which can be a challenge in our busy lives today.

I am in my final year of training as counsellor. I am a student member of the British Association of Counselling and Pyschotherapy and as such I follow their ethical framework.
 

I know how hard it can be to come to the first counselling session. I follow the person-centred approach to counselling. One of its central themes is that I offer my clients unconditional positive acceptance. Please know that I will meet you wherever you are emotionally. It is your space and time to share as much or as little as feels comfortable to you. There will be no pressure from me
and no judgement.
 

You are the only person who truly knows how you feel! I will walk alongside you with empathy and openness whilst you explore how you are feeling.
