About Jo Grigg
About Me
I have been helping people over the past 4 years as a qualified Counsellor to achieve their goals, providing positive motivation for those seeking support. Working with a range of therapeutic modalities to meet the needs of both adults and young people, operating from my therapy room in West Sussex. I offer face-to-face, online, and telephone support.
As an Accredited member of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society, which is backed by the government it ensures high standards and safety for the public, I believe it reflects my commitment to ethical and professional practice.
Having worked previously over the last 12 years as a coach supporting my clients with confidence, self-esteem and body issues I expanded my client base to work with The Salvation Army, Cruse Bereavement and with responders from the Fire, Police and Ambulance Service both as a student and a qualified counsellor, I now offer support to a variety of clients. Having completed training in many areas of mental health I am now working towards my Supervisor’s qualification to be able to support other counsellors in their work. I practice ongoing personal development to stay current and informed, and to give the best service to my clients.

Taking the first steps
Please contact me by email or telephone to arrange a 30 minute consultation. During this consultation, we can discuss your concerns in more details and how I can best support you. Together we can find a way forward to help you make the changes you desire. I assure you that everything we discuss will remain private and confidential.
I offer various options for sessions, including face to face (Whilst adhering to covid restrictions), online sessions through Zoom, or telephone appointments. Please let me know which option works best for you.
Therapy Sessions
In order to provide the most effective support, we will begin with a brief assessment to better understand your needs and goals. This will allow us to establish a clear contract for our services, ensuring that we are working towards the desired outcomes.
Our sessions typically take place weekly, with a review after 6 weeks. Whether you prefer long or short-term therapy, we can discuss the approach to sit your individual requirements.
During our 50 minutes sessions, I offer the space to explore your feelings and concerns, enabling you to identify and note changes. I am committed during this process to help you achieve those goals.
Therapeutic Approaches
Person centred therapy (PCT) focuses on your concerns and worries, allowing you to lead the sessions to make sense of your feelings. This approach aims to create a safe and non-judgemental environment for you to explore and understand yourself better.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) which is widely used by the NHS, can be incorporated to actively involve you in your own progress. If you find that you are stuck in a cycle of anxiety or face ongoing problems, we can explore how you might change your thoughts, feelings and behaviours to achieve a different outcome.
Psychodynamic therapy can also be used to gain a clearer understanding of why you behave as you do in certain situations. This approach can help you explore and address beliefs that you may have learnt in the past and identify strategies to make positive changes.
By combining these approaches to your specific needs, it allows you to gain insight and ultimately change unhelpful patterns.
