About Josie
Josie Peacock is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with five years of practice across personal settings, the NHS, and charity work in end of life and palliative care. She holds NCPS as a credential and uses her experience to help people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.
Josie aims to make the first steps easier when anxiety or difficult memories feel too big to face alone. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth. She listens without judgement and treats people with respect and compassion.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on helping clients notice what matters to them and build small, practical steps toward change. Josie draws on a mix of therapies to match each person’s needs. She uses acceptance and commitment techniques to build values-led goals, client-centred work to follow the client’s pace, and cognitive behavioural ideas to challenge unhelpful thoughts.
Hypnotherapy and attachment-based perspectives are available when they suit the work. People contact her about stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions and self-esteem concerns. She also supports issues such as relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress and coping with life changes.
Josie can help with more specialised topics like abandonment, chronic illness concerns, and caregiver strain. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients by online formats. The style is collaborative - she helps people set realistic goals and build tools they can use day to day.
Josie aims to be a steady presence while clients work through change.

Online support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and pace, offering active listening and empathy. This approach supports building self-awareness, confidence and trust in the therapeutic relationship, which can be useful for grief, low self-esteem and relationship concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Josie works collaboratively to decide what fits. She talks with clients about their goals, tries different techniques and adjusts the plan as work progresses. The emphasis is on practical steps agreed together rather than a fixed formula.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well if video is difficult, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving and travel, and to continue therapy when life circumstances change.
