About Josie
Josie Peacock is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with five years of practice experience. She has worked in independent practice, the NHS, and for a charity supporting people in end of life and palliative care. Josie aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings and to guide people through their counselling journey.
She offers calm, steady support when anxiety or past trauma make progress feel hard. Josie helps people find practical tools and motivation to move forward.
Background and approach
She focuses on building confidence, improving self‑esteem, and encouraging simple self‑care habits. Her style is warm and friendly. She emphasises respect, compassion, and a non‑judgemental listening approach.
Sessions are meant to feel like a safe place to talk and to be heard. Josie uses a range of therapeutic approaches to suit different needs, including acceptance and commitment methods, attachment work, client‑centred conversations, cognitive behavioural techniques, and hypnotherapy. She tailors these to the person in front of her rather than following a one‑size‑fits‑all plan.
People contact her when life feels overwhelming - stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, relationship worries, issues with intimacy, sleep or eating, parenting strain, or career pressure. She also works with concerns such as anger, ADHD, compassion fatigue and bereavement. Josie helps people explore what matters to them and then supports practical steps towards their aims.

How Josie works online
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose or adapt methods based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. The aim is to try practical ways forward together and adjust as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into everyday life easier by reducing travel and making sessions possible during breaks or from different locations. It can also allow shorter check‑ins when that suits schedules, and let people choose options that match their comfort with being on camera or not. Registered or accredited professionals will discuss practical arrangements and help find a format that fits day‑to‑day life.
