How I can help...
Sometimes you know something doesn’t feel quite right, but you’re not sure what you need or where to start.
Friendly Therapist is a place to explore what’s going on for you through practical self-help, reflection, meditation and guided resources.
You don’t need to be in counselling. You don’t need to have everything figured out. You can simply start where you are.
A place to explore, reflect and reconnect
Friendly Therapist brings together counselling-informed reflection, meditation and practical self-help.
You’ll find things you can use in different ways — from something small that helps you stop and think, to guided resources that take you deeper.
Explore and Understand
Articles, prompts and practical ideas to help you understand your thoughts, feelings, patterns and needs
Pause and Reconnect
Grounding exercises, meditation and reflective practices to help you reconnect with yourself
Go Deeper
Guided workbooks, meditation kits and other resources designed to help you explore a particular area in more depth
Start with something useful
Not everything needs to be a big piece of self-development work.
Sometimes a question, a short exercise or a few minutes of meditation is enough to help you see something differently.
Guided resources
If you want more structure, Friendly Therapist’s resources bring together reflection, counselling-informed exercises and meditation around a particular theme.
Finding Your Voice
Explore self-expression, confidence and what it means to use your voice.
More guided resources are being developed.
Why Friendly Therapist?
I’m Jo, a qualified counsellor and meditation teacher.
My counselling background shapes the way I create everything here, but Friendly Therapist isn’t about telling you what you should think or how you should feel.
It’s about giving you useful ways to explore your own experience, understand yourself better and decide what feels right for you.
I also draw on meditation and reflective and spiritual practices where they can add something useful.
