Welcome to Rethink You Counselling
Hello, my name is Jo Ahmed (MBACP). I offer face to face, online and telephone therapy for individuals seeking counselling. This can be short or long term, or simply some ad-hoc sessions when needed.
Rethinking You
It may be that you’re feeling unsettled by aspects of your life encompassing the past, present and future or a mixture of all. Stress, relationships, anxiety, work-related issues can all impact on the way we think, feel and exist as a whole. Therapy and counselling can be an opportunity to process, understand and talk about what is going on for you, and of what’s happening both internally and externally.
Finding the right therapist for you is paramount to the therapeutic relationship and is conducive to feeling supported and accepted. I aim to foster the right conditions which will help you towards greater self-awareness, self-acceptance and wellbeing.
Areas I Work With:
Counselling For General Life Problems
I work with general life and common mental health problems such as depression, low mood & anxiety.
Counselling For Chronic Illnesses
Living with or caring for someone who has a long term condition is often overlooked. I work with clients who are navigating these realities.
Burnout, Work Anxieties & Bullying
Often we are unaware how work related stressors can deeply affect mental & emotional well being.

Get in Touch
Contact me at contact@rethinkyou.co.uk or phone 07593186389. I will get back to you within 24-48 hours. Remember to check your spam/junk mail as replies may go there. It can be difficult to make that first step and I am more than happy to answer questions.
If I feel I can help you and you feel comfortable with me as your counsellor, we can book your first appointment. I’ll send you a contract to sign and a brief form to fill in. Sessions will take place only when the contract and form is returned along with payment.
We would then normally book sessions in on the same time and day each week, but I appreciate there may be times where this is not possible. If sessions take place via Google Meet, I will email you the link where you can access your online session. If our session is via telephone, then I will call at the arranged time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes; I have some sessions available reserved for those who are unable to pay the full amount. I also have a flat rate of £45 for counselling students.
Only you can know if you need therapy. It may have been suggested to you but ultimately the decision is yours. Counselling is often the first time that someone may feel genuinely listened to and understood - this alone can be transformative.
Yes, your sessions are confidential. Please note that under certain circumstances I have ethical and statutory obligations to share with necessary organisations if I believe you are at serious risk of harm to yourself or others. More information on confidentiality are outlined in the counselling contract. Measures are in place to protect your personal data, in accordance with GDPR.
The number of sessions can vary as it depends on the needs and of every individual. Most people require between 6 to 8 sessions, however you can have less or more depending on what feels right for you. We can review your progress and go from there. You can of course stop therapy at any time, however I do encourage a natural winding down where possible to avoid any abrupt ends.
I offer both online and telephone counselling. I do this as I understand how it can be difficult to access in person therapy for a number of reasons. It can also just be a personal choice and easier to fit into your schedule.
Yes, I can conduct sessions in Bengali/Syhleti. Please contact me for further information.
