About Josie
Josie Peacock is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with five years' experience. She has worked in independent practice, within the NHS, and more recently with a charity offering end of life and palliative care support. Josie uses straightforward, compassionate talking therapy to help people facing anxiety, low mood, addiction and relationship worries.
Her approach is warm and friendly. She listens actively and treats people with respect and compassion. Josie aims to help clients feel calmer when talking about hard experiences and past trauma.
Background and approach
In sessions she focuses on building practical skills and everyday routines that support confidence and wellbeing. That can include strategies for managing stress, tackling sleep or eating problems, and finding ways to cope during major life changes. Hypnotherapy may be used alongside other methods when appropriate.
Josie draws on different therapy styles to meet a person’s needs. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-based ideas, together with client-centred listening. The mix helps address issues such as grief, parenting strain, compassion fatigue and addictive behaviours.
She works with people facing a wide range of challenges, including body image concerns, bereavement, anger, ADHD and career-related stress. Sessions are offered in English and she is based in the United Kingdom, with arrangements for remote work where needed.

Online support
How Josie blends talking therapy with online support
Josie uses hypnotherapy as one option to help people access calm and change unhelpful habits. Hypnotherapy here is presented as a guided, relaxed way of focusing attention to support things like sleep, eating habits, anxiety and addictive behaviours.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or ACT, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for long-term worries, low mood and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy influences how she understands relationship patterns and communication problems, helping people see how early experiences shape current connections.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before, then try methods that suit the person. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for longer sessions, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
