Josie Peacock, NCPS

Josie Peacock is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with five years of experience. She has worked in private practice, the NHS, and in charity roles supporting people in end of life and palliative care. Josie aims to provide steady, practical support for people facing difficult feelings and life changes.

She keeps sessions warm and friendly. Josie listens closely and treats people with respect and compassion. She focuses on helping clients notice what matters to them and to find small, manageable steps forward.

Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, depression and addictions, along with grief and self-esteem concerns. Josie also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, career questions, and coping after major life changes. She lists living with health challenges among her areas of focus.

Josie uses a blend of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and hypnotherapy. In practice she tailors the mix to each person’s needs and goals rather than using a single method.

People who come to Josie can expect practical tools alongside talking therapies. She works to build confidence, improve self-care, and develop clearer ways to manage strong emotions. Her approach aims to help people feel more able to handle day-to-day challenges and move towards the things they value.

How Josie’s approaches can work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live alongside difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, depression and coping with long-term health challenges. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce symptoms like anxiety and sleep disruption. It often includes practical exercises and behaviour tasks between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people develop different ways of relating and feeling safer in close connections.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Josie will talk with each person about their situation, goals and preferences and adapt methods accordingly. The process is collaborative, with choices made together rather than fixed in advance.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions around work, family and medical appointments, and being able to connect from different locations. If you prefer shorter check-ins, fewer visual demands, or sessions that slot into a busy day, those options can be discussed.
