Evidence-led wellbeing, delivered with warmth and care.

The Why

Why I do
this work.

My work is about helping people feel steady at work again. I start by understanding what is happening beneath the surface of a team, then use practical, evidence-led tools to create change that lasts long after the session ends.

Whether it is a leader carrying too much privately or a whole team running on empty, the goal is the same: clarity, resilience and a better way to work.

"People cannot build something meaningful on exhaustion and stress. A well mind is the key that changes everything."

Real support for real pressure. Science-backed, human-first and built around your organisation.

The Journey

A blend of science,
leadership, and real-world work.

I'm Jo Stavraki (also known as Ioanna, or Jo Wellbeing), a wellbeing consultant with an MSc in Applied Neuropsychology. For over a decade, I've worked with organisations across the UK, Cyprus and internationally.


I work with the science of how the brain and nervous system function under pressure, and I translate it into practical tools that teams and leaders can use every day. It starts with a conversation.

The Experience

What it is like to
work together.

Working with me is calm, practical and genuinely useful. Sessions give people space to think clearly, name what has been building in the background and leave with tools they can use the same day.

Everything is designed around your organisation, so the work fits the way your people actually think, meet and get things done.

Evidence-led tools

Grounded in psychology and neuroscience, translated into practical techniques people can apply straight away.

Tailored to your organisation

Every session and programme is designed around your culture, your goals and the pressures your people face.

Psychologically safe sessions

Calm, well-held spaces where people can be honest, ask questions and think more clearly together.

Outcomes you can see

The measure of the work is what changes afterwards: in decisions, in communication and in how your teams feel.

their people to thrive.

What Changes

The results you are
working towards.

Progress people can feel in their energy, their choices and their working relationships. Most organisations come to me when work feels too loud, too fast or too heavy. The work we do together builds steadiness and resilience across the team.

  • Clearer thinking under pressure
  • Calmer reactions and better emotional regulation
  • Healthier routines and working rhythms
  • Better communication and collaboration
  • More confidence through change
  • A shared sense of purpose and direction

The aim is simple: a way of working that feels sustainable.

Beyond the Workshop

Writing, research,
and public work.

I also share wellbeing education through writing and research-informed content, because psychology should feel accessible, useful and grounded in real life.

Good Questions

Questions people
usually ask.

If you are wondering it, you are probably not the only one.

Both. I am based in Cyprus and deliver sessions in person here, and online for organisations anywhere in the world.
Think of it as psychology-led wellbeing education and consultancy for organisations. It is practical, tailored and grounded in neuropsychology and organisational psychology. It sits alongside clinical care, and I can point people towards appropriate support when they need it.
Stress and burnout prevention, focus and cognitive load, resilience, communication, change, leadership wellbeing and healthy high performance are common starting points. If you are not sure whether your situation fits, bring it to the discovery call.
Talks, one-off workshops, workshop series, leadership sessions and longer programmes. We will choose the format that suits your team size, your calendar and your goals.
Always. I take the time to understand your people, your goals and your culture before designing anything, so the work fits how your organisation actually runs.
It is a relaxed conversation. You tell me about your team, I ask a few questions, and together we work out the most helpful next step. No pitch, no pressure.
Yes. My full name is Ioanna Stavraki, and Jo comes from Joanna, the English form of Ioanna. Whether you found me as Ioanna, Joanna or Jo, it is the same person, the same qualifications and the same work.
Jo Wellbeing is the name of my practice, and it is how my work appears on some profiles and channels. Jo Stavraki, Ioanna Stavraki and Jo Wellbeing all refer to the same practice: science-backed wellbeing for organisations.
