Hello, I am Jo and I started Emotional-Ed to focus on providing a service for young people that was inclusive. I have spent my professional career working with young people as a as a specialist mental health teacher and before that as a CBT therapist for the NHS. I have over 15 years’ worth of experience of working with young people and their issues. My approach has always been to be kind, supportive, a little funny and listen openly when trying to understand what is happening. I believe it is now more important than ever to take the time and focus on young people and what they think and feel. Only by considering all aspects of their lives are we able to understand and help them more forward to achieve.

Emotional-Ed provide interventions and therapy which considers all aspects of a young peoples life, this bridges the gap between the educational sector and mental health services.

From having worked in the educational and the mental health sector, I have seen how the services can work independently. For some young people this can be detrimental as their mental health issues and education are linked. Therefore by considering both aspects of individuals life’ Emotional-Ed offers a unique approach to work with young people in a holistic manner.
