Jo Herbig

Jo Herbig offers practical, down-to-earth support for people juggling stress, anxiety and relationship pain. She is an AASW social worker with 22 years of experience and aims to make therapy understandable and useful. Jo writes plans that fit everyday life and listens for what matters most to each person.

Jo works with common but heavy issues like grief and anger. She helps people who are dealing with family conflict and separation, and she has experience with workplace stress and isolation. Her approach is focused on what will change day to day rather than on jargon or labels.

Her background includes work with separated families and Child Inclusive Practice through national committee work. That experience shapes how she supports parents and carers to manage change and reduce conflict around children. She also brings a mediator's perspective to conversations about separation and communication breakdowns.

In sessions Jo uses familiar, evidence-based techniques such as psychotherapy and cognitive behavioural methods adapted to the person in front of her. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns when they are part of a person's story. The aim is to build practical tools for managing emotions and repairing communication.

People can expect a respectful, sensitive and calm space to talk things through. Jo focuses on tailoring each plan so it matches individual needs, goals and life pressures. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she offers steady support while you work toward clearer next steps.

How Jo applies therapeutic techniques online

Jo commonly uses psychotherapy and cognitive behavioural techniques in plain, practical terms. Psychotherapy here means talking through patterns and feelings to find clearer ways of responding, which can help with grief, anger and relationship distress. Cognitive behavioural approaches focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and practising new behaviours to reduce anxiety and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jo will discuss different ways of working and choose methods with each person based on their goals, preferences and life situation. This is a collaborative process that changes as progress is made.

The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep continuity of care while managing work and family responsibilities.
