Philosophy & Vision
Having worked with some of the most vulnerable and marginalised communities in Sydney, Jo has the ability to make anyone feel at ease. She understands that trust, compassion, and understanding are central tenets of a therapeutic relationship, and views the opportunity to be witness to a patient's story as a privilege. She prides herself on her warm and friendly demeanour, as well as her ability to maintain a non-judgmental approach to her clients, no matter what issues they face.
Background
As a former therapist for the internationally renowned Macquarie University Social Phobia treatment program, Jo's main area of interest is in working with individuals suffering from social anxiety. Her other interests include depressive disorders, trauma and stressor-related disorders, substance-related and addictive disorders, sexual disorders, personality disorders and other anxiety disorders.
Jo is trained in a range of evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and motivational interviewing and schema therapy.
Services
Jo views her role as much more than a job. She sees it as an opportunity to enrich the lives of others, through the union of evidence based therapy and benevolence.
Quality Provision
Jo completed her undergraduate training at Charles Sturt University. There, she obtained a Bachelor of Arts (Psychology) as well as a Bachelor of Social Science (Psychology)(Honours).
