Hello, and welcome.

I’m Jo Woods, a therapist and relationship coach. I work with individuals and couples to help them better understand themselves, manage the inevitable challenges of life and relationships, and create meaningful, lasting change.

My approach is educational, compassionate and practical. Together, we look at the thoughts, emotions, habits and relationship patterns shaping your experience. You’ll learn how to steady yourself when emotions rise, communicate more clearly, respond rather than react, and make choices that are more aligned with your values and the way you want to live.

At the heart of my work is the belief that self-awareness creates choice, and self-regulation makes value-aligned actions possible. You can learn to loosen the grip of old protective patterns, and develop a calmer, kinder and more supportive relationship with yourself and others.

I work with individuals and couples in private sessions, both in person and via Zoom.

I also created 'The Evolution Hub' so that support, learning and practice can continue outside of private sessions. The Hub is accessible 24/7 and is an exclusive online space containing helpful resources, videos, practices and structured personal and relationship development programs.

I am live in The Hub every Wednesday for 'Soundboard Sessions' where I respond to questions, challenges and real-life conundrums.

Whether you work with me privately, join the Hub, or use both together, the aim is the same: to help you live with greater awareness, steadiness, alignment and relationship harmony.

  • Soundboard Sessions

    Soundboard sessions take place every Wednesday at 1pm inside The Evolution Hub (free). I usually begin with a short discussion on a specific topic, then open the session to you. It’s a chance to bring along something you’re working through and get practical insight, guidance and direction outside of private session time.

Jo is a rare gem in a sea of counselling options. She is honest to a T, warm, genuinely cares and empowers you to find your own journey in working through issues. Cannot recommend her more highly!

Private Sessions

After your session yesterday with Tim, I was astounded by his positive energy, excitement and enthusiasm for the future and his goals. He spoke about the session for about an hour nonstop! I’ve not seen him so passionate about the future and his own life in the whole time I’ve known him.

We have been doing your relationship program and have gained so much from it. Our relationship is already so so different and we have not had any arguments like we used to. So I can’t thank you enough!

Harriet & Nick

Relationship Program

I just wanted to say thank you for todays session. This has been the first time I’ve vocalised any of these thoughts before, and it was very relieving to talk to you, and hear your thoughts. I came away from our session with a lot to think about, and feeling quite a bit lighter, in a positive way.

We just wanted to say thank you so much for your support, we found so much value in seeing you. I'm sure we will book in more sessions as life evolves, but for now we just wanted to let you know we are expecting our first child. We truly don't think we would have got to this point if not for your help. So we just wanted to say thank you - your work is so impactful on people's lives.

Jo helped me immensely overcome fears of social anxiety and transition through a few difficult years of feeling unsettled. If it wasn't for her openness to listen to my fears and concerns, I know I wouldn't be the same person I am today.

Claridi Botanical Inhaler

I’m also the founder of Claridi, a botanical inhaler I developed to help people disrupt unwanted habits and build better ones. 

Made with peppermint, eucalyptus and pine essential oils plus menthol, Claridi has a fresh, sharp scent designed to spark awareness in those moments when you’re about to slip into an automatic behaviour — scrolling, smoking, reaching for another drink, procrastinating or reacting in a way you’d rather not. You simply hold Claridi under your nose and breathe with it, creating a moment to reset your attention and choose what you want to do next.

Claridi is paired with a simple three-step practice — Breathe, Reset, Rewire — and Habituate, a 60-day habit change program where I provide practical behaviour change guidance and weekly live coaching. Together, they help you practice interrupting old patterns and, through repetition, start laying down new ones.
