Jo Wright - MAPS, AAFT

Joanne (Jo) Wright is a Registered Psychologist with more than 20 years experience as an individual, couple and family therapist.

She has particular expertise as a couple therapist and holds post graduate qualifications in couple counselling and family therapy.

While concepts from Bowen Family Systems Theory have underpinned Jo's clinical work, supervision of clinical staff and her efforts in her own family relationships for many years, she remains committed to exploring the usefulness of other therapeutic approaches in conjunction with Bowen Theory when working with clients.

Jo has a special interest in the management of anxiety and the development of the ability to self regulate strong emotional reactions. Her approach to this incorporates mindfulness practice, and the use of neurobiological information as a means to develop more flexible brain functioning, thought processes and behaviour.
