FORTITUDE
Jo Henderson
BABCP Accredited CBT Therapist
IPT Accredited Practitioner
IPT Accredited Supervisor
I am humbled by someone’s decision to enter into therapy and I can offer a safe, respectful and compassionate space where we can work together to achieve your goals.
I am able to utilise my knowledge and experience of multiple therapy models in order to offer an approach that is flexible and suited to your needs. It is really important to me that I have a good understanding of your difficulties so that I can work alongside you to help you make any changes necessary to improve your wellbeing.
​
I have experience of working with a range of difficulties including, depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, health anxiety, social anxiety, complex bereavement and major adjustments. I often hear people talking about not knowing themselves and struggling with a senses of identity and I am currently studying for a doctorate that is centred around the experiences of people with long-term physical health conditions and the impact of this on their emotional health.
My Experience
I have worked in the NHS for 24 years, mainly delivering psychotherapeutic interventions to people with a range of difficulties. I have trained in several different therapy models and have used this experience over the course of my work both while delivering therapy and providing supervision.
I have delivered therapy and supervision in both an individua and group setting and have delivered training to other professional groups to help increase their awareness and skills when working with different difficulties. More recently, have moved into a managerial role whereby I provide supervision to a range of staff from different professional backgrounds who deliver therapeutic interventions.
