Welcome to Jo Williams Therapy

I’m Jo and I’m a practising counsellor, hypnotherapist and writer based in Godalming, Surrey.  After a corporate career of 17 years, I was motivated to retrain as a counsellor by two questions: “What makes people think and behave the way they do?” and “How can I help?”

Sometimes life gets difficult, for all of us. Having someone to talk to, in a confidential and non-judgemental space, can make a world of difference. I have experience working with clients in many areas including grief and loss, relationship problems, stress, anxiety, and changing unwanted habits. Please see my testimonials page to hear from previous clients.

To arrange an initial consultation, simply call me on 07725 404455 (if I can’t answer, please leave a message and I will call you back) or email joannabarnard76@gmail.com.

At the moment I am conducting most counselling and hypnotherapy sessions by zoom or telephone, until further notice. I have recently started offering outdoor ‘walk and talk’ therapy; please get in contact if this might be of interest to you.
