About Josie
Josie Peacock is a psychotherapeutic counsellor (NCPS) with five years' experience in the United Kingdom. She has worked in private practice, with the NHS, and most recently for a charity supporting people in end of life and palliative care. Josie focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, self-esteem, depression, relationship issues and anger.
She works in a direct, conversational way. Sessions are practical and aim to help people find tools that fit their life. Josie helps people who feel stuck or overwhelmed to notice what gets in the way and take small steps forward.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), attachment-based ideas, client-centred work and hypnotherapy. Josie uses these methods to look at thoughts, behaviours and relationships that contribute to recurring problems. She also pays attention to how past losses or attachments affect present reactions.
In sessions she listens actively and offers straightforward techniques for managing anger, anxiety, sleep and addictive behaviours. She will work with goals you set and try out different strategies so you can see what helps in daily life.
Josie accepts clients from the UK and international clients. Fees vary with location and are charged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, choose the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting carried away by them, and then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anger, anxiety and life changes because it focuses on practical steps rather than only changing feelings.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, behaviours and feelings. It gives clear exercises to try between sessions, which can help with sleep problems, anxiety, low mood and unhelpful anger patterns.
Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships shape current responses and communication. It can be helpful when anger or relationship problems trace back to attachment worries or past losses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will talk through goals, preferences and how different methods might help. They will try techniques together and adjust the plan based on what actually helps day to day.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or caring commitments. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions without video if that suits someone better. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor the mix of ACT, CBT and attachment work to practical problems such as anger, sleep, addiction or grief.
