Hello, I’m Jo White
I’m a psychotherapist and clinical hypnotherapist based in Peterborough, and I’m passionate about helping women, children, and teens feel calmer, more confident, and better equipped to navigate life’s ups and downs. My path into therapy grew from both personal experience and professional curiosity. Before training as a therapist, I spent many years as a teacher, a role I loved for its connection, creativity, and the chance to make a difference. But during that time, I also saw how often people carried quiet struggles beneath the surface: anxiety, exhaustion, self-doubt, and a sense of never quite feeling enough. I recognised some of those feelings in myself, too, especially through my own journey into motherhood and the challenges that came with it. That’s what inspired me to retrain and build a career where I could support people in a deeper way, helping them understand their minds, reduce overwhelm, and rediscover the strengths they already hold within. Today, through solution-focused hypnotherapy and psychotherapy, I work with clients experiencing a wide range of challenges, from stress, anxiety, burnout, and low confidence to life transitions such as perimenopause, parenthood, or loss. My approach is gentle but forward-looking; we won’t spend endless time unpicking the past, but instead focus on what’s possible and how to move towards it. Clients often tell me that our sessions feel like a breath of fresh air, a safe, kind space where they can finally relax, make sense of things, and start to feel hopeful again. I bring warmth, empathy, and humour to my work, and I genuinely care about the people I support. Outside of my therapy room, I’m happiest walking in nature, spending time with my family, or enjoying a quiet cup of tea after a busy day. These small moments of stillness remind me why I love this work so much, because finding calm, even in the middle of life’s noise, is possible for all of us. If you’re ready to take that first step towards feeling lighter, calmer, and more like yourself again, I’d love to walk alongside you.
