I have been in awe of psychosensory practices since I discovered and then trained in EFT in 2007. Discovering Havening Techniques® in 2024 took my practice to a whole new level. It is an honour for me to walk alongside of and support people with these practices, and I'm continually blown away by what clients do working with these modalities. A few years ago when I was in the midst of a dark journey through my own Complex PTSD, I would never have believed that a client and practitioner could be playful or joyful while healing deep trauma; but now, thanks to Havening, I know that to be the truth.
If you would like to get a sense of me as a practitioner, please check out a small sample of the testimonials below. And if you would like to get a sense of my training in various modalities, please see my website; where you can also get a feel for my approach, which is informed both by training and experience working with various modalities/approaches, and by my own journey of healing. I know first-hand the challenges of healing from dissociative trauma and navigating neurodivergence in a world that so often doesn't understand either the challenges or gifts it brings; and am so thankful to share what has helped me with others now. It is important to note that I am a psychosensory practitioner, not a therapist. I take the term ‘trauma-informed’ very seriously having been retraumatised myself by the approach of therapists and practitioners of various modalities, prior to discovering the gentle yet powerful approaches of EFT and Havening Techniques®.
I’m happy to offer a 20 minute complimentary chat for new clients, as I know it’s very important that you feel comfortable with a practitioner and their approach. During this chat we can either simply get to know one another, and/or I can introduce you to using Havening as a powerful tool for self-regulation.
Testimonials:
Working with Jo has been an incredible experience that has truly enriched my healing journey. Over the course of three Havening sessions, I was amazed at how much we were able to achieve. Jo’s compassionate presence, positive energy, and deep wisdom created a safe and nurturing space where I could release what was holding me back, find an inner calm, and gain greater hopefulness and positively toward a brighter future.
How I admire Jo's vibrant, authentic energy and exuberant spirit. Jo brought a sense of playful creativity to every session, which made the process not only deeply healing but also genuinely enjoyable. I felt supported, seen, and inspired in ways I hadn’t anticipated.
If you’re looking for a practitioner who is genuinely kind, energetically joyful, and wholeheartedly dedicated to your growth and resilience, I enthusiastically recommend Jo! Jo's enthusiasm, compassion, smarts, and authenticity are truly a gift ! Beth, USA
I felt safe with Jo, and held by her genuine care and wish to support another human being. Her skill to facilitate growth and change is clearly based on years of professional expertise and personal experiences. She went at the pace that was right for me. She always checked things out and explained and gave me space to be just as I needed to be. There are few people out there working with such genuine care and skills. For thirty years I've sought help wtih a lot of different therapists and modalities, and Jo is a rare find. If you've found Jo and are here reading this, you are lucky. I wish I'd found Jo 30 years ago! Judith A.
