Two Bays Therapy

Counselling and Therapy on the Mornington Peninsula.

Hi I’m Jo

Life can be challenging.

Life can throw us huge curve balls.

Life can sometimes get you down.

Finding a therapist that you connect with is one way of helping you find your purpose and happiness.  I use a range of modalities in my practice, largely a person-centred approach with a touch of solution-focussed therapy. Together we can devise strategies to help you cope with life’s bumps, humps and roller coaster rides.

I genuinely love people and their stories. I love to see progress and growth. I love to see people smiling again, having found a pathway to happiness through the undergrowth of despair.

I provide support, counselling and therapy in the following areas:

• • Midlife changes: perimenopause
  • Grief and loss: divorce, death of a loved one, family illness
  • Pre and postnatal anxiety, depression, pregnancy loss and birth trauma (COPE accredited)
  • Drug and alcohol use (AOD)
  • Anxiety and depression
  • Loss of energy, motivation, libido

I am originally from the UK, born in London, and spent many years travelling after university. I met my husband during this period and we moved to Australia in 2002. We are proud parents to 23 year old Lily and our 19 year old transgender son Elijah.

My background is in teaching and I was Head of Year at Brighton College in the UK. I also have a passion for health and wellbeing. I am a qualified personal trainer, specialising in strength and conditioning.

I have a first class degree in education (BA Ed) and a diploma of counselling Dip Counselling.
