About Persephone

Persephone Moir is a counsellor with 10 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She supports people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and intimacy-related issues. She also helps those struggling with self-esteem, motivation and the lasting effects of trauma and abuse.

She aims to build an open, non-judgemental space where clients can say what they think and feel. Persephone encourages practical conversations that address day-to-day problems and emotional patterns. She acknowledges starting therapy takes courage and she recognises that first step.

Her background includes a BACP credential, which shows she meets standards set by that professional body. Over a decade of practice has given her experience with a wide range of concerns, including attachment and abandonment issues, codependency and communication problems. She also works with people facing chronic illness, chronic pain and body image worries.

Persephone has experience with topics such as BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture, dissociation, domestic violence and fatherhood issues. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame and feelings of emptiness. Her work is practical and client-focused rather than theoretical.

When someone reaches out she will talk through what brings them to therapy and agree on aims together. Sessions focus on helping people notice unhelpful patterns, try new ways of relating and make small changes that fit their life. The emphasis is on clear communication and steady progress.

Therapeutic approaches and online possibilities

Persephone uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support people through emotional and relational problems. One common approach focuses on helping someone notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can reduce anxiety and lift mood. Another approach concentrates on attachment and relationship patterns, helping people understand how early connections shape current intimacy and communication difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then together decide which methods to try and how to adapt them over time. This helps make therapy a shared effort rather than a set plan imposed from the start.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions around work or family commitments and reducing travel time. Online work may also make it easier to maintain continuity when life gets busy. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the current options before booking to ensure they match your needs.
