About Josie
Josie Peacock is a psychotherapeutic counsellor (NCPS) with five years' experience working in both private practice and the NHS. She has also worked for a charity supporting people in end of life and palliative care. Josie works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction and anger among other concerns.
She helps people talk through current problems and past trauma in straightforward sessions. Josie focuses on building confidence and self-esteem and on practical steps clients can try between meetings. She aims to make it easier to discuss difficult feelings without judgement.
Her work includes support for grief, relationship difficulties, sleeping and eating problems, and challenges linked to caregiving or serious illness. She also sees people with ADHD, career stress and compassion fatigue. Josie lists both trauma and intimacy-related issues among her areas of practice.
Sessions are conversational and paced to the person in front of her. She listens, reflects and suggests breathing, thinking and behaviour-based exercises when helpful. Hypnotherapy may be offered as an option alongside talking approaches.
Clients can expect help recognising patterns that keep problems going and practical ideas for small changes. Josie encourages straightforward goal-setting and regular review of progress. She accepts international clients and runs sessions in English.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, low mood and anger issues where getting stuck in thinking makes things worse. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change patterns that increase anxiety or anger. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people understand and change repeated patterns in close relationships.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative step. The therapist will discuss options with the client and try methods that fit their needs and goals. If something does not feel useful, it can be adapted or swapped for another approach during the course of work.
Confirm the specific online session formats before booking, as the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow quieter check-ins that do not need video, or shorten meetings for focused problem-solving. Many people find it simpler to try practical exercises and worksheets between sessions when meeting remotely. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists offer a mix of approaches so the method can adapt to what the client finds most helpful.
