Jo Purvis (Jontue Helen Sara Purvis)

Counselling can offer a space where you can access support and begin to change. To learn skills and endure difficulties with self-compassion and resilience.

I am a qualified integrative counsellor who is a Registered Member of the BACP and an Accredited Registrant with NCPS. Based in Glasgow, I offer a non-judgemental, supportive, and confidential space in which to express your thoughts, feelings and experiences at a pace that is comfortable for you. I offer in-person appointments in Glasgow, as well as online and telephone counselling sessions within the UK.

My aim is to facilitate discovery; uncover ways to withstand and embrace life with comfort and curiosity, to honour your needs, learn how to soothe yourself and engage with positive, sustainable growth. Your individuality, values and goals will always help guide how we work together to support your journey towards a more positive, grounded, authentic and resilient life.

As an integrative counsellor I draw upon the Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, and Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) modalities whilst using a trauma-informed approach. This allows me to adapt how we work together to best suit your needs and the issues you are experiencing whilst working within the BACP’s Ethical Framework and required professional competency level.

I hold a Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy (validated by COSCA) and continue to train and develop in the modalities I practice, as well as additional areas of interest, including polyvagal theory and somatic therapies. I have also successfully completed recognised training in offering online and telephone counselling.
