Jo Oxley

Jo is an experienced psychotherapeutic counsellor, supervisor, and trainer with a thriving private practice and over 35 years of teaching and tutoring experience. Despite her extensive qualifications, including a formal teaching credential, Jo’s professional journey began much like many of the practitioners she now supports—full of questions, self-doubt, and the uncertainty that often accompanies complex client work.

Over time, Jo developed a deep appreciation for the challenges that both clients and practitioners face in navigating difficult emotional landscapes. She believes in creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where people can safely explore their experiences and work towards meaningful growth. Her approach is grounded in empathy, clarity, and a strong commitment to ethical practice, making her a trusted guide for those seeking counselling as well as for professionals striving to build their own confidence and competence.

In addition to her therapeutic work, Jo has a passion for teaching and mentoring. She offers training, supervision, and workshops designed to empower practitioners at all stages of their careers. Whether working one-to-one or with groups, Jo combines her wealth of knowledge with genuine care, helping others find their voice, refine their skills, and gain the resilience needed to thrive in this demanding field.

Outside of her professional commitments, Jo values balance and self-care, principles she encourages in her clients and colleagues alike. She understands that sustainable growth comes not only from hard work but also from rest, reflection, and nurturing personal wellbeing. This perspective informs her holistic approach and reinforces the compassionate, grounded presence she brings to all aspects of her practice.
