JAO (jay-oh)
Therapy
A Coherence-Based Approach to Counselling.
The work I offer focuses first on helping your nervous system settle, so you can feel calmer, more grounded, and think more clearly.
From there, we can begin to make sense of what you’re experiencing and develop practical, sustainable ways to move forward.
Coherence is the feeling of coming back into alignment with yourself. In our work together, the goal is to support your mind, body, and nervous system in finding more steadiness, calm, and inner clarity — so you can begin to feel more like yourself again.
Clinic Offerings
Talk Therapy - a.k.a counselling
Therapy offers a supportive, confidential space to explore emotional, psychological, and relational challenges.
Sessions are collaborative and tailored to your needs, with a focus on:
-
Emotional regulation
-
Stress and anxiety management
-
Building insight and clarity
-
Developing practical coping strategies
This work is grounded in evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and strengths-based perspectives. In addition approaches such as HeartMath, Polyvagal Theory and Brainspotting are weaved into practice if suitable.
As the body and mind become more settled, it often becomes easier to process experiences and create meaningful change.
At JAO Therapy you can choose counselling services OR Biofield Tuning services OR a combination.
Biofield Tuning
Wellness Service
"The Sweet Stuff"
Biofield Tuning is a complementary, sound-based practice that supports relaxation and nervous system settling. Considered an 'adjunct' therapy tool - it can be used with talk therapy or offered on its own as a method to help the body relax and release tension or pain.
Tuning forks are used to create gentle sound frequencies either around the body or, in some cases, lightly on the body. This type of therapy works on the premise that we have 'energy' around us and our bodies, our minds, and our feelings are impacted by the field around us.
Many individuals report after a session:
-
A sense of calm or relaxation
-
Reduced tension in the body and in thoughts
-
Release of pain in certain parts of the body
-
Increased clarity and ease
Biofield Tuning is:
-
A wellness-based service (not psychotherapy)
-
Non-regulated
-
Not intended to diagnose or treat mental health conditions
It can be experienced on its own or, if you are a psychotherapy client, used as an optional, adjunct complement to support overall body/mind regulation.
Virtual Sessions
"The focus is not on analysis, but on support—creating the conditions for your system to settle and do what it is naturally designed to do."
Both psychotherapy and Biofield Tuning sessions are available virtually.
Sessions are conducted through a secure video platform and follow the same structured, focused approach as in-person work. You will be guided through the process in a calm and supportive way.
Virtual sessions allow you to:
-
Access support from your own space
-
Reduce travel and scheduling barriers
-
Engage in a comfortable, private environment
For Biofield Tuning, distance sessions are offered as a standard option. Many individuals experience similar states of relaxation and nervous system settling as they would in person, though each session is unique.
Because this work is not limited to the physical body, many people find distance sessions to be similarly calming and grounding as in-person sessions.
