About Josie

NCPS, five years' experience. Josie Peacock is a psychotherapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom with NCPS listed as her credential. She has five years of practice and has worked in private practice and with a charity in end of life and palliative care.

Josie works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people with relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, anger and career pressures. Additional focus areas include ADHD, attachment and abandonment issues, body image and substance misuse.

Her clinical approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and hypnotherapy. In sessions she listens and discusses what is happening now and what people want to change. She uses practical conversation and exercises from these approaches to help people try different ways of coping.

Josie describes a direct, respectful style and aims to help people build confidence and self-care skills. She has experience supporting people facing end of life and palliative situations through her charity work, as well as varied concerns from emotional distress to life transitions.

To begin with she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Josie uses talking therapies online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on what matters to them. It is often used for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect current connections and can help with intimacy and trust issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Josie will discuss the options and agree a plan with each person, drawing on ACT, CBT, attachment work or client-centred conversation as suits the goals. This is a collaborative process that checks what feels useful and what to try next.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online sessions to keep therapy workable around day-to-day responsibilities.
