Jo Skipworth Psychology

Providing psychological therapy for adults & couples.

 The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.

-Carl Rogers

 

  • My Approach

    I believe engaging in therapy for our emotional & psychological health is like exercising for our physical health.

    Creating a space to reflect on how we feel about certain experiences and relationships can increase our self-awareness and understanding of our needs.

    With improved awareness of our emotional needs, we are better equipped to cope during times of stress, and engage in healthy relationships with others.

    I connect with clients to increase self-awareness, and enhance their capacity for self-compassion and self-acceptance.
