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
A guided workbook and meditation kit to help you explore self-expression, confidence and what it means to use your voice.
Why Friendly Therapist?
I’m Jo, a qualified counsellor and meditation teacher.
One of the things I love most about counselling is seeing what happens when we begin to understand ourselves better — why certain situations affect us, where familiar reactions come from and how our experiences shape the way we feel.
I created Friendly Therapist to bring that kind of exploration into everyday self-help, combining my counselling background with meditation and the spiritual and reflective practices I’ve explored over the years.
My aim is to offer practical ways to explore your feelings, recognise patterns and discover what feels useful to you, in your own time.
