Josie Peacock , NCPS

Josie Peacock is a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor who brings experience from private practice, the NHS, and recent charity work in end-of-life and palliative care. She holds NCPS, a psychotherapy credential that reflects her professional training and commitment to therapeutic practice.

Josie supports and guides people through the counselling journey, helping to reduce the anxiety that can arise when discussing present difficulties and past traumas. She has worked with individuals who feel unable to find a way forward and with those who need tools and motivation to move on. Josie focuses on building confidence, improving self-esteem, and encouraging practical self-care that supports longer term wellbeing.

Her therapeutic style is warm and friendly, grounded in respect, compassion, and nonjudgmental listening. She emphasises active listening and aims to create a space where difficult emotions can be explored without pressure. Josie works collaboratively to help clients define and pursue their goals, offering steady guidance even when progress feels challenging.

She welcomes the opportunity to support people through change and loss, and she believes that simply beginning to explore feelings can bring noticeable relief and new perspective.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Josie Peacock integrates several evidence-informed approaches to help people work through stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping individuals accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns in close connections and helps rebuild trust and security in relationships, which can be especially useful for intimacy and attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, supporting improvements in mood, sleep, and everyday functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Josie works collaboratively with clients and with other licensed professionals as needed to identify the methods that best fit each person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the approach as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Josie is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, make it easier to access therapy from different locations, and allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable and practical for their circumstances.
