People who are neurodiverse, people with disabilities and their families, I am considered a ‘Deaf Aware’ counsellor (have done some courses through my past external supervisor ‘Dr Louise Munro’). I enjoy working with families, teenagers, couples and older people. I certainly work with children – usually over the age of 8 years old.
“One good conversation can shift the direction of the change forever.”
Dr. Jo is a highly compassionate, empathetic and experienced registered counsellor, who has spent her working life supporting people through the experience of physical, emotional and mental health challenges.
It feels important to create and maintain a safe and comfortable environment for people. When a person coming to see me feels safe and comfortable, trust can be built. I love connecting with people and seeing the light come back into their eyes when they have shared their story and we have co-created a sense of hope, options, opportunities, noticed strengths and exceptions to their narratives.
Dr. Jo fondly recalls supporting a family through a series of very complex grief and loss experiences. The family connected with Dr. Jo while their family members were in hospital and gravely ill. Each of the family members (clients) worked through their different feelings and emotions during the hospital stay. Dr. Jo continued to work with the clients after the gravely ill family members died. The clients later sought support for other life events involving disability, the changing shape of their family and life transitions. Dr. Jo’s broad and deep work experiences, across 30 years in the health industry, enabled her to support the clients to navigate through the most difficult times in their lives.
