My name's Jo, I'm a relationally trained Psychotherapist/Counsellor.
I believe that life can sometimes be overwhelming and we are often a mystery to ourselves.
We can get lost in overthinking and lose our way.
I support people to understand themselves better and learn healthier coping mechanisms.
I am credentialed in the UK with 4 years of professional work experience.
I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, & trauma and abuse.
I also have experience working with motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Jo-Ann Kempster. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Jo-Ann is an incredible therapist! She has helped me so much in learning how to quiet my overthinking mind and find a sense of peace I never thought possible. From the very first session, she made me feel comfortable, heard, and genuinely understood. Her insights are always thoughtful, and she has an amazing way of helping me reframe my thoughts more positively and productively.
Not only is Jo-Ann compassionate and supportive, but she also challenges me in the best way—pushing me to grow, set boundaries, and build healthier thought patterns. Her guidance has truly transformed the way I approach life’s challenges, and I feel so much more confident and in control because of our work together.
If you’re looking for a therapist who is kind, wise, and deeply committed to your well-being, I can’t recommend Jo-Ann enough. She’s been a life-changing support system for me, and I’m so grateful to have found her!

I can't thank Jo-Ann enough for being part of my healing process. She is patient and understanding, I felt very safe telling her some of the most embarrassing thoughts and actions in order to find patterns and awareness in my behaviour. I feel I'm on track in a journey of self-improvement and I thank Jo-Ann for helping me get there.

Jo is the most wonderful listener. Kind, generous, and open. She has truly helped me to navigate some big life changes and always made me smile in every session no matter how bad I was feeling. I’d highly recommend Jo to anyone who needs therapy sessions that feel like a hug and a safe space to cry a bit..!
