Psychotherapeutic Counselling in Bishop’s Stortford
Shared Space Counselling, founded by Jo Cowley, is a space where you can begin to process the issues you are facing. Many things bring people to individual or couples counselling from neurodiversity, childhood trauma, relationship difficulties, unmet needs and goals, bereavement, sudden traumatic events, anxiety, stress, imposter syndrome, or the feeling that everything is getting too much and overwhelm and burn out are not far away.
Jo helps her clients by offering a calm, non-judgemental space where they can really feel heard. Step by step, we will navigate a way forward together. There's no judgement here, just empathy, understanding and a space to grow.

As a general Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, based in Bishop's Stortford, I work with clients facing a wide array of issues. I work with individuals and couples, and specialise in neurodiversity, anxiety, depression, change, relationships and imposter syndrome.
Do you feel like you're not coping? Do you find yourself repeating the same patterns of behaviour? Does it feel like just one more thing may happen, and all the wheels will fall off? Do you look at yourself and not recognise who you are right now, and wonder where the person you used to be has gone? Are you like a swan on the outside, but underneath the surface, there's a lot of panic and stress? Do you come across as the confident, capable one, but feel you're going to be found out as anything but? Are you struggling with the loss of a loved one, a friend, a relationship or career? Is your grief more complicated than you thought it would be? Are you a neuro-diverse person and struggling to process that? Are you the parent of a SEND child and feeling overwhelmed?
I can offer you a Shared Space that is empathetic, non-judgemental, where you can speak freely. Together, I can help you process what is going on for you, going at your pace to discover whatever comes next.

I offer individual, and couples counselling. As an integrative, pluralistic therapist, I use a range of techniques rooted in pluralistic therapy, somatic nervous system work, and breath work. For individuals, I offer a free 15 minute telephone conversation, and for couples, I offer a separate initial call for both parties following the completion of an initial questionnaire via email. To find out more about couples counselling, please click on my designated page.
Sessions are within a 1 hour booking, usually finishing after about 50-55 minutes. We will begin our work with an
Initial Consultation where we will discuss your hopes for therapy and the goals you may be aiming for. I will work collaboratively with you to develop a personalized therapy plan that ensures you are fully comfortable with the route ahead. No two therapy plans are the same, and we will review the duration of the plan together as we progress in our work.
I am a proud members of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and adhere to their code of ethics. Regular supervision with a qualified supervisor ensures I maintain best ethical practices.
