Psychodynamic psychotherapy & counselling
Psychodynamic psychotherapy & counselling in London Bridge.
I'm Jo Baker, a psychodynamic psychotherapist offering a confidential and thoughtful space to explore difficult feelings, relationships and life experiences.
I am a psychotherapist working from my consulting room in London Bridge.
People come to therapy for many different reasons. You may be finding that past relationships or experiences are affecting your life in the present, or that you are struggling with difficult or unresolved feelings. You may also notice patterns in the way that you think, feel or relate to others that no longer feel helpful or constructive, and which are contributing to difficulties in your intimate relationships, your friendships and your work.
At other times therapy can be helpful when life changes suddenly - for example following a bereavement, the end of a relationship or a redundancy, or any other significant change that leaves you feeling unsettled, overwhelmed or uncertain.
Psychotherapy offers a confidential space in which to talk about and to explore these experiences, feelings and patterns with curiosity and care. Through this process, we can work together towards a deeper understanding of yourself and the ways in which the past and present experiences may be connected. This can open up the possibility of greater choice, new ways of relating, and create meaningful change.
Where to begin
Where might we begin?
Anxiety, stress and fear of failure can become overwhelming. You may find it difficult to switch off from work, feel increasingly anxious in social situations or experience tensions in your relationships with others.
Relationships can be a source of both connection and distress. Therapy can be a space to explore repeating relationship difficulties , conflict, intimacy and trust, and the struggle to find and sustain fulfilling relationships.
Feelings of depression, loneliness, anger and resentment can become hard to manage alone. Therapy can help you understand these feelings and the experiences and patterns beneath the surface.
You may find yourself repeatedly drawn into behaviours that feel difficult to change, even when you know they are causing problems. Therapy can help you explore what these patterns mean and what may be keeping them in place.
Bereavement, redundancy, the end of a relationship or any other sudden change can leave you feeling disorientated, overwhelmed or uncertain. Therapy can provide a space to think about what has happened and how you are adjusting to it.

Book a sessionSupervision offers a reflective space for therapists and counsellors to think about their clinical work, their responses to clients, and the wider context of their practice. I offer supervision to practitioners working in London, as well as online sessions.
