Inner Calm Therapies

I would highly recommend Jo, she helped me greatly to get to a better place in life. Thanks Jo, really appreciate all the time no effort.

When I first visited Jo last year anxiety and panic attacks had completely taken over my life. I was unable to work, had difficulty leaving the house and a severe phobia of flying. Jo helped me through the most difficult time of my life. Together we identified the root cause of my problem and she gave me the strength and courage I needed to make big changes in my life to start to overcome my problems. Jo felt like a friend, she was caring, compassionate and understanding but also kicked me into action when I needed it! She really went the extra mile for me and I am eternally grateful for the help she provided. I am a much happier, stronger person thanks to Jo's help. I have also just managed to complete 6 flights in 7 days on a trip to Thailand thanks to the skills that Jo furnished me with! This is something that would have been completely unthinkable to me a few years ago!Thank you Jo and all the best for the future :-).Moreexpand_more

I saw Jo having dealt with a intense bout of anxiety, my boyfriend found her online and spoke to her before me, she was very helpful in the start up process and tried to make me feel at ease as I was incredibly nervous. Upon meeting oj we clicked instantly, there's no pressure or clip board clinical feeling. It was nice to sit there and have a talk to someone you didn't feel was judging and took a genuine interest in how you's felt and how she felt she could best help with the issues. She introduced me to something called Eft which is an ancient form of acupuncture I found this helped greatly with my random bursts of anxiety and helped bring me back to the present moment. We also used CBT to look into the issues we both agreed where a problem and try and figure out how they made me feel and figure out alternatives to helping these problems go away! After a few months Jo felt I was ready too be forward and use the tools given to help me have a happier and healthy life. I'm very grateful for my time with oj and everything she taught me is still a huge part of my life! I have referred many people to her for multiple reasons including my boyfriend and sister :) Hugely recommended and very thankful to have met you Jo! Grace O'Connor.

Jo really helped me with anxiety and OCd issues. Would definitely recommend.

I'm pleased with the experience I had with Jo - she is very professional and easy to talk to. My sessions have finished now, but I feel that I have the tools to carry on improving and that I can be my own therapist to some extent. I wouldn't say that I am 'cured' - that would be unrealistic - but I am in a much better place than I was originally and I am much more resilient now. I would recommend her to anybody.

After suffering with a fear of wasps for over 30 years, to the point of getting out of moving cars and walking in front of trafific I realised I had to do something about it before I cause serious harm to myself and those around me. I contacted jo believing I was a lost cause. She made me realise in a short space of time how I visualise these wasps and brought out feeling I didn't even observe myself. My fear was so out of control it governed my whole life. After two sessions I was able to stand by a bin, walk through a garden of flowers and even sit on a train that I knew was cohabiting a wasp without running, falling over people, moving people out the way and most importantly having what felt like a constant summer heart attack. I am now looking forward to. My holiday to bali and I am at a point where I know I can book future trips without checking out the wasp and insect population before viewing the beaches. Jo has changed my life and I view wasps so differently. It took two hours of her time not two years as I thought initially. Thank you so much I would defiantly refer all to jo. No one can appreciate the shear relief of my family knowing that when the sun is out I can walk safely down the road. I was so elated after my last meeting I telephoned all family and friends to tell them I walked amongst flowers and stopped at a bin. I can not thank jo enough and how she managed to get me to this in two hours after my fear escalating for 30 years.Moreexpand_more

I came to Jo regarding the unwanted impact of physical and mental stress responses from prolonged exposure to stress without managing it. I had thought a lot about my situation prior to attending sessions and was at the time going in a positive direction having come through a lot of the tough times. So I was not sure what level of value Jo could add. It was in fact a lot of value that I gained from my sessions. I was able to work through reasons for my behaviour, had a calm safe space and understanding person for acceptance of my discomfort. Get an experienced professional to guide me through situations to gain positive reflection, and ultimately share useful advice, new perspectives and tool and techniques for managing stress I was able in a short time to feel freer of mind, validated that I need not put up with my situation and was in control and had techniques that I could put into practice for future events. I would definitely recommend Jo to those needed a sound person capable of understanding and offering the correct professional experience to help them overcome their issues. Importantly while in session the environment and nature Jo has means you can feel calm and secure to feel comfortable to really tackle your issues and allow Jo the space to help guide and mange you through any difficult points and share her expertise and knowledge to best help you. Very very happy I went and feel confident I can go forward with new awareness of self and knowledge to support me in tougher times.Moreexpand_more

I found my sessions hugely helpful and a great support.

Initially I was very dubious about speaking to a therapist, but I can honestly say that it was the best decision I have ever made. 7 months of sessions with Jo has completely changed my life. I had suffered with anxiety in certain aspects of my life for many years and didn't think that I would ever be able to change how I felt. With Jo's skills and guidance I have overcome those fears. I looked forward to my appointments with Jo as I felt that I got so much out of every session. I would highly recommend Jo to anyone.

Choosing to work with Jo was one of the best decisions I have made. Challenging, kind and thoughtful, Jo used multiple techniques and approaches to help me understand, manage and control anxiety. A mix of theory and really practical support meant I could tackle the problems I faced and feel a real difference almost immediately. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jo. She has supported me to change my life, make real choices and be genuinely empowered for the first time in my life. I also sleep soundly, which I thought was impossible. I can't speak highly enough of this service.

Jo is a wonderful woman! I do really enjoyed working with her and she always know how to help. I love the sessions and it was became one of the most expecting moment every week during past few months. I feel a lot better after the sessions with my self esteem, thanks Jo, I wish you all the best!

When I first went to see Jo I was in one of the darkest place I had been in my life. I was suffering severe depression and anxiety and didn't think I would find a way out. Jo helped me find a way to deal with years of issues and problems that had mounted up and led to quite a spectacular breakdown. Each session helped me see a little light at the end of the tunnel. I'm now in one of the happiest and strongest places I've ever been and I cannot thank and praise Jo enough for the help and support she has given me. I'd been through counselling before and never felt the benefits but Jo has the ability to make you feel at total ease and able to discuss what really is holding you back. I would recommend and have recommended Inner Calm to people I know. Leah. Liverpool.

After suffering a bereavement to a close family member, Jo help me through this very difficult time. She not only helped me come to terms with my loss, but she helped me to regain my self confidence and resolve some deep seated issues I had with my family. I would highly recommend Jo to anyone. Thanks Keith - Liverpool.

After suffering with anxiety for years a friend highly recommended me to see Jo (the best thing I have ever done) I was in such a state when I first saw her but even after my first session I was overwhelmed thinking somebody actually understands me. After 8 sessions I can honestly say I have never felt better my life has totally changed. Jo has taught me how to overcome anxious feelings and deal with it on a daily basis. I can never thank Jo enough she has been brilliant. Thanks.

Where do I start. I went to Jo in such a state , so low full of grief anxeity and depression. After my first session with jo I was already seeing the benefits of being with Jo. Now I can't beleive she got me from such a dark place in my life. Jo just has a natural way of clearing your head and make you understand what you are feeling. Jo you are amazeing I can not thank you enough for what you did for me. Thank you so much. Jason carney Liverpool.

I would definitely recommend using this company! The therapist is more than just a counsellor, I’ve never looked back after finding Inner Calm, brought me right back to where I needed to be, would use again if I ever needed to and would highly recommend to anyone thinking about looking for a therapist. Thanks again.

I saw Jo regularly for about five months to work on my coping mechanisms, for struggles I was experiencing in my life. Before the work with Jo, I was very confused, anxious and almost suffocated with my own thoughts. Jo helped me to understand myself and opened up new ways to deal with my fears. I have come away with a better insight and understanding of myself and have the confidence to deal with the difficult hurdles in my life. Thank you Jo.

After struggling with low self esteem and a very loud inner critical voice, just a few sessions with Jo helped me work out my issues on a day to day basis and has given me the freedom to move forward and not be held back by innapropriate guilt. Thanks Jo.

My wife and I had counselling with Jo for issue's that we were struggling within our relationship. We found Jo to be very knowledgeable, empathic and understanding of our problems. She helped us to communicate kindly to each other. It was truely an empowering experience which we are both grateful for it saved our relationship, we would highly recommend Inner Calm to anyone. Thank you once again!

I recently spent about 6months attending sessions with Jo. When I first starting seeing her I can honestly say I was at my lowest point in my life. My counselling was a mixture of bereavment, depression and anxiety. Jo has helped me see that I can deal with life as a whole and I now know I will never feel that bad again as she taught me to recognise the signs. Jo is amazing!
