About Josie
Josie Peacock is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with five years' experience. She has worked in independent practice, the NHS, and a charity supporting people in end of life and palliative care. Josie aims to make first steps less daunting and offers steady support while people talk through difficult feelings.
She helps people who are struggling with anxiety, stress, depression and low self-esteem. Josie also works with addiction, grief, trauma and relationship and intimacy-related concerns.
Background and approach
Her wider focus includes areas such as parenting strain, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, career change and ADHD challenges. Josie uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centred listening and hypnotherapy, choosing what fits the situation.
Conversations are practical and grounded, with clear steps to try between sessions. Her style is warm, respectful and non-judgemental. She listens actively and helps people build confidence and self-care routines.
Josie aims to guide rather than tell, helping people find tools and motivation to move forward. People who prefer a calm, collaborative counsellor often find her approach helpful. Sessions focus on what matters now and on small, manageable changes.
Josie supports each person to set and work towards their own goals at a steady pace.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Josie will discuss different methods and help choose what fits a person's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or want flexible, on-the-go contact. These options make therapy more accessible around work, family life and other commitments.
