Joanna 'Jo' Biegala
Integrative counsellor focusing on relationships and wellbeing
About Joanna
Joanna 'Jo' Biegala practises using an integrative approach rooted in the person-centred relationship. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters to them. Jo is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Jo focuses on common difficulties such as stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with grief, depression and big life changes. Her additional interests include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, impulsivity and communication problems.
Background and approach
Her style is collaborative. She helps people decide how counselling should look for them and works with each person to set goals. Sessions may involve looking at thoughts and behaviours, exploring attachment patterns, or trying brief practical strategies to manage day-to-day problems.
Jo draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help identify unhelpful thinking and on solution-focused ideas to build on small steps that make a difference. Attachment-based work is used to look at relationship patterns and how early experiences affect current feelings. She has three years of experience and has worked with adults with a range of mental health and wellbeing concerns.
Jo aims to help people gain insight, develop coping skills and find ways to move forward that feel manageable and realistic.

How Jo uses proven approaches in online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape present feelings and behaviour, and it can help with issues like abandonment, insecurity and difficulties trusting others. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and what people want to achieve next rather than dwelling on problems. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jo will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before, then try methods that fit the person's needs. Over time the approach can be adjusted so the work feels useful and relevant. Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins and text messaging works well for ongoing, brief contact. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and everyday life while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional understanding.| Session length | Typically 50 minutes |
