Josie Peacock, NCPS

Josie Peacock is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with five years' experience. She has worked in independent practice, in the NHS and more recently for a charity in end of life and palliative care. Josie aims to make it easier to raise difficult topics and to stay alongside people while they work through painful memories and current stresses.

She offers a warm, friendly style and listens closely to what people say. Josie focuses on building confidence and self‑esteem. She supports practical self‑care and helps people find tools and motivation to move forward.

Josie has helped people with a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression and trauma-related issues. She also works with relationship and intimacy concerns, body image and eating and sleeping difficulties.

Her approach draws on several therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment‑Based and Client‑Centred work, plus hypnotherapy. In sessions she combines problem-solving with space to reflect, so people can test changes between meetings.

Josie is registered with the NCPS. She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. Fees vary with location and are provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How these approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them. It helps people clarify their values and take small actions that move them towards a life they care about, often used for anxiety, stress and low mood.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses practical exercises and experiments to change unhelpful thinking patterns and build new coping skills for problems like depression, anxiety and sleep issues.

Client‑Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, non‑judgemental relationship. The counsellor offers listening and acceptance so people can explore their own solutions at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process can be adjusted as work progresses.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. It can also help when quieter surroundings or not being on camera are useful, or when people prefer exercises they can practise between sessions.
