Josie Peacock is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with five years of experience. She trained to the NCPS standard and has worked in independent practice, the NHS, and most recently for a charity supporting people in end of life and palliative care. She offers calm, steady support while people talk through difficult feelings.

Josie listens without judgement and helps clients find small, practical steps forward. Her style is warm and direct and aimed at making conversations easier to start.

Background and approach

Josie helps people dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with addictions, grief, self-esteem and relationship concerns. Other areas she works with include trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and career or life transitions.

Her approach draws on psychological methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, attachment-based and client-centred work, and hypnotherapy. In sessions she mixes talking, practical exercises and reflective listening to suit each person’s needs. People come to Josie when they feel stuck or overwhelmed and want clearer ways to cope.

She supports those rebuilding confidence, managing difficult emotions, and finding healthier habits. Her aim is to help clients meet realistic goals and notice steady progress. To begin, Josie asks about what matters most to the client and agrees a simple plan.

Sessions focus on useful tools, steady emotional support, and realistic next steps to make life feel more manageable.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them. It helps clarify personal values and build small actions that move life in a meaningful direction, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and stress.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful patterns in thoughts and behaviours. It uses clear exercises and practical strategies to change those patterns and ease symptoms like low mood, worry and sleep problems.

Attachment-based work and client-centred listening emphasise understanding how early relationships shape current reactions. This approach supports people dealing with intimacy issues, attachment worries and relationship difficulties by offering a compassionate space to reflect.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods together. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay aligned with their needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility and practical options. Video calls let people see facial cues and hold deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter messages, ongoing reflections between sessions, or people who prefer not to use audio or video. Registered and accredited professionals can deliver effective care across these formats while fitting work, family and travel schedules.
