Persephone Moir, BACP

Persephone Moir helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or difficulties with intimacy. She writes in plain language and focuses on making the first steps into therapy feel manageable. She welcomes honest conversation and aims to reduce the shame that can stop people from asking for help.

She has ten years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which she uses as the framework for her work. Sessions begin with simple questions about what is most urgent and what a person hopes to change. Persephone prefers a straightforward way of working so people can start trying new things between sessions.

In practice she listens for patterns that keep people stuck, such as avoidance, people-pleasing or self-criticism. She helps clients notice those patterns and test small, practical changes. Work may include talking through difficult memories, focusing on how relationships affect mood, or building clearer ways to ask for needs to be met.

Persephone also has experience with issues that often sit alongside anxiety and depression. These include attachment or abandonment concerns, body image, codependency, dissociation, chronic pain and illness, and aspects of kink and alternative sex culture. She offers a non-judgemental space to address shame and guilt.

Sessions are offered in English from the United Kingdom. The booking process uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients select Start Therapy, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on the therapist's availability.

How therapy approaches guide online work

Persephone uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and practical change. One common approach she draws on helps people spot recurring thoughts and behaviours that increase anxiety or low mood, then test small behavioural experiments to change them. This kind of work is useful for stress, anxiety and low mood.

She also works with relational and attachment concerns by helping clients map how past relationships affect current feelings and intimacy. That approach aims to make relationships and personal boundaries clearer and less overwhelming for the individual.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Persephone will listen to goals, ask about what has and hasn't worked before, and agree on small steps to try together. The approach can be adjusted as progress is made and new priorities arise.

If you want online sessions, please confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find remote work helps fit therapy into busy lives - it can reduce travel time, allow a shorter check-in when needed, or make it easier to schedule around work and caring responsibilities. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which format will suit your needs during the initial matching process.
