Joanna 'Jo' Biegala, BACP

Joanna 'Jo' Biegala practises using an integrative, person-centred approach. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and aims to offer a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. Jo keeps sessions collaborative so people stay in control of their therapeutic journey.

Jo draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and to develop practical coping strategies. Solution-Focused Therapy is used when people want brief, goal-led work to build momentum and find small changes that help.

Her recent experience includes supporting people with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and body image concerns. She also has experience working with grief, stress and life transitions. Jo pays attention to issues around communication, control, shame and abandonment when these come up in sessions.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual. Jo helps people learn tools they can use between sessions as well as thinking through feelings in the room. The aim is to increase understanding and to support clearer choices about next steps.

Jo works in the United Kingdom and offers services in English. She has three years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. If someone would like to find out more, the Start Therapy button begins the process of matching and booking.

How Jo's approaches guide online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape feelings and reactions now. It helps people understand why they may find certain situations difficult and supports developing different ways of relating.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers clear exercises and coping techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.

Solution-Focused Therapy aims for short, practical steps. It helps people set small, achievable goals and build on what already works in their life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That plan can change as the work progresses, and Jo supports people to try different strategies until something fits.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. They also let people use written exercises and homework between meetings to reinforce progress. Registered or accredited professionals will explain practical arrangements and help tailor sessions to fit everyday life.
