About Josie
Josie Peacock is a psychotherapeutic counsellor (NCPS) with five years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, low self esteem and depression, and with concerns including relationship and family matters, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping problems, and ADHD. Sessions are carried out in English and she accepts international clients.
Josie has worked in private practice and with a charity in end of life and palliative care. She describes years of clinical work supporting people who feel stuck and unable to find tools or motivation to move forward. That background shapes a practical focus on everyday coping skills and steadier wellbeing.
Her approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening and elements of hypnotherapy. In practice this means noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, trying different ways of responding, and agreeing small steps to test what helps.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Josie listens, reflects what she hears and helps clients identify patterns that keep problems going. She also works on building confidence, improving self-care and practical routines for sleep, eating and mood.
People who prefer clear, structured work will find this approach useful. Josie asks about current day-to-day challenges and sets tasks to practice between sessions. She supports clients to adjust those tasks as progress is made or obstacles appear.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Josie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, test alternatives and build practical routines for sleep, eating and mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and accept difficult feelings while still taking steps that matter. Attachment-based ideas are used to map relationship patterns and improve how someone connects and communicates.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Josie treats this as a collaborative process - she and the client review what helps, agree small experiments and adjust the plan as needed so it fits goals and daily life.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some clients prefer video for face-to-face interaction, while others choose phone for less bandwidth or quicker calls. Discussing practical preferences early helps shape sessions that will work alongside everyday demands.
