Josie Peacock
Practical, compassionate psychotherapeutic counselling
About Josie
Josie Peacock is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with five years' experience. She has worked in independent practice, the NHS, and in charity roles supporting people at the end of life. Josie supports people through stress, anxiety, addiction and loss, and she uses a blend of talking therapies to suit each person.
She works in English and accepts clients across the United Kingdom and internationally. Josie aims for a warm, friendly style in sessions.
Background and approach
She listens closely and treats people with respect and compassion. Her approach is non-judgemental and focused on helping people find practical steps to feel better. Her background includes work in palliative care, which shaped her calm, steady approach when conversations are difficult.
That experience informs how she helps people facing grief, long-term illness, caregiving strain and life changes. She also supports those dealing with addictions, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and trauma. Clinically, Josie draws on a mix of methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and hypnotherapy.
She adapts these tools to each person rather than using a single formula. Sessions are focused on clear goals and small, achievable steps. Practical session options include video calls, phone appointments, live chat and text messaging.
Cost varies with location and uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions.

Sessions & fees
Therapeutic approaches you can access online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a richer life, which can help with anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand their ways of connecting and can be useful for relationship worries, intimacy difficulties and attachment issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest approaches to try. Decisions about methods and pace are made collaboratively, and they can change as you progress.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls let people meet face to face without travel, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, while live chat and text messaging allow quick check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments and help keep continuity between sessions.
