Counsellor/Therapist, MCouns, BComm, GradCertDevTrauma, DipCommWelf, DipCommServ
Jo supports individuals struggling with perfectionism, high self-criticism and fear of failure. She understands that perfectionism often develops as a protective strategy but can lead to anxiety, burnout and reduced self-worth. Using emotionally focused and evidence-informed approaches, Jo helps clients explore the underlying drivers of perfectionistic patterns and develop greater self-compassion and flexibility. Therapy focuses on building balanced standards, healthier self-talk and sustainable ways of striving without sacrificing wellbeing.

Melbourne has a well-established therapy culture and one of Australia's highest rates of therapist availability per capita, with a strong emphasis on evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT, and schema therapy. The city's high cost of living and competitive professional environment drive demand for therapists addressing burnout, perfectionism, and relationship stress among its large young professional population. Melbourne's diverse migrant communities — including large South Asian, East Asian, and African populations — mean cultural competence and multilingual therapy are in consistent demand. The Royal Melbourne Hospital and Alfred Health provide institutional mental health resources alongside the city's extensive private and community-based therapy network.
