About me

My name is Jo Thacker

The heart of successful therapy is the relationship between you, the client and your therapist. Choosing the right counsellor is a vital step toward healing. Whether you're seeking in-person therapy in Crewe (CW2) or online counselling from anywhere in the UK, I offer a safe, supportive space where we can work together to create meaningful change in your life.

I’m a qualified BACP-registered Integrative Counsellor, providing both face-to-face counselling sessions locally and online therapy services nationwide. I specialise in supporting individuals affected by domestic abuse, childhood abuse, coercive control, and relationships with narcissistic partners or family members. These experiences often lead to trauma, grief, and emotional overwhelm and you don’t have to navigate them alone. Talking really does help.

My integrative approach allows me to tailor therapy to your unique needs, drawing from a range of evidence-based techniques. Whether you're attending sessions in person or connecting online, I provide a confidential, non-judgmental space to explore your emotions and begin your healing journey.

Together, we’ll work to help you better understand yourself, build emotional resilience, and make positive, lasting changes. Counselling can be life-changing and it starts with a conversation.
