Dr Richard Schwartz, in reference to the authored chapter in 'Freeing Self - IFS Beyond the Therapy Room' by Jo Howard

"Jo, I just read your chapter and loved it - it's clear you get the model at a deep and spiritual level and you write beautifully about it! I particularly liked your case descriptions because I've been to similarly sacred places with clients so often but haven't written about it so much. Thank you! - Dick"

Melis Ellialti, life-changing peace, clarity and connection. 

"Working with Jo through IFS has been a truly transformative experience. Her presence is warm, grounded, and deeply intuitive. She creates a space where all parts of me feel welcome, even the ones I used to avoid or judge. Through our sessions, I’ve come to understand myself with more compassion and clarity.

 

One of the most profound moments was when I felt a bright light within me — it was the first time in my life I experienced such a pure sense of peace, clarity, and connection. That moment was nothing short of life-changing, and it continues to guide me in everyday life.

 

Jo gently leads the process in a way that feels both empowering and deeply healing. I’m endlessly grateful for the insights, strength, and sense of wholeness that have emerged from our work together."

Kirsty, new sense of direction, confidence and joy

Helena Lee

 
"Working with Jo has totally changed my life!! 

Layers were peeled away and I felt myself becoming more and more present within myself. The sense of clarity I gained was amazing. I spent time re-evaluating my own life and priorities again.

I now have a new sense of appreciation and direction. I have gained the confidence to apply for a new job, and have brought about a new sense of joy and fun into my life. I feel spiritually guided and protected and trust my new direction. 

Thank you Jo!" 

 
“Jo's energy is divine, innocent, open and so very catalytic... it truly transforms people.... safely, gently, joyfully and lovingly.
