Josie Peacock, NCPS

Josie Peacock is a psychotherapeutic counsellor (NCPS) working in the United Kingdom with five years of practice. She has experience in both private practice and the NHS, and has recently worked for a charity in end of life and palliative care. Josie helps people with worries that often come up at home, such as stress, anxiety, parenting strain and relationship concerns.

She often supports people facing grief, loss and challenges around addiction and recovery. Josie also works with issues like low self-esteem, depression, trauma and problems with intimacy or sleeping. Her background includes work with carers and people coping with serious illness, which shapes how she responds to complex emotional needs.

In sessions she listens and responds without judgement. Conversations are practical and focused on what is happening now and what the person wants to change. She draws on several approaches to suit different problems, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

Josie aims to help people find small, manageable steps they can practise between meetings. That might include noticing unhelpful thinking, trying a new way of responding, or using grounding and relaxation techniques. She works at a steady pace and keeps things straightforward so people can use what they learn in everyday life.

People who come to her often want help with parenting stress, family tensions or feeling stuck after loss or a big life change. Josie asks about practical goals early on and shapes work around what someone wants to achieve over time.
