About Jo
As a chartered clinical psychologist of nearly 20 years, I have worked in a range of NHS adult services as well as private practice.
We all bump up against life at times and can get stuck over how to move forward. So my commitment is in enabling you to develop effective, psychological skills that help you learn, grow and move intentionally towards your own authentic purpose and to better enjoy your quality of life.
My working style is naturally warm, person-centred and integrative – drawing on various evidence-based cognitive behaviour therapies (CBT) such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Compassion-Focused Therapy, as well as more systemic, relationship-based approaches including solution-focused and narrative therapy.
I really enjoy working with adults of all ages and have substantial clinical experience with issues related to being diagnosed and living with physical health conditions, including being a carer. I am also interested in supporting those struggling with distressing peri-menopausal changes.
Whoever you are, at the heart of my work lies connection, compassion, professional curiosity and integrity – alongside my strong belief that through our sessions, and your ongoing commitment to develop awareness and practice new skills, meaningful change is possible.

Testimonials
Dr Jo Weekes is such a wonderfully warm and non-judgemental Psychologist. I felt confident in her care that she could help me find some answers to my worries and fears during my perimenopause journey. It always felt like there was the right balance between her actively listening and also planting some clever nuggets of information and insights along the way. The way Dr Weekes articulates everything just makes sense! She is clearly a very intelligent person but always made me feel worthy and on her level. I often hear her voice in my head guiding me. I can genuinely say that I feel she has helped me on a journey of acceptance and compassion. I was quite emotional on our last session, but this was due to happy tears as I was so thankful to her. I would thoroughly recommend Dr Weekes."
Female, Aged 53
"Jo is an amazing, awesome psychologist who taught me how to deal with my emotions and behaviours, transformed to a growth mindset, gave me life long excellent coping strategies and recommended healing books and authors Brene Brown, Oluwadare Adeeyo, Octavia Raheem, most of all, the importance of Rest and Self Care especially for the black woman. Thank you Jo."
"I worked with Dr. Weekes for about 9 months after a traumatic medical experience. She was incredibly kind and supportive throughout, and gave me several useful and practical tools to incorporate into my life. I have experienced significant growth in my ability to regulate my nervous system and process difficult situations, and feel confident that I will continue to grow off of the foundation that Dr. Weekes has helped me develop this year. The whole experience was excellent and I'm so grateful to have found this practice!"
