Photo is obviously of me. I’m not good at taking photos of myself and marketing but I realise it is helpful for the young person to get a feel of who you are. I work exactly the same. I don’t know how to work filters or take selfies well but I have something on here now, so proud of myself. hahaha

Jo’s Approach
My approach to therapy is person centred. Working with the individual to understand where they are at, then adapting modalities and strategies to meet their needs. This could begin in the front garden if that is where they are most comfortable, or finger painting, using lego or talking. Once we have started to build some safety, we can extend and adapt as we go.
The biggest lessons I have learnt come from my family of neuro-spicy individuals, creating a life with harmony while doing it our way. I am passionate about being proud of our differences and not changing to suit another’s agenda.

While therapy is at the heart of Earth Elements our environment is also important. It is visible at all times, the front garden is being developed into another space for art, meditation or finding peace. In this busy world, having spaces that help us exhale are even more necessary. This is hopefully one of those spaces.
