Persephone Moir , BACP

Persephone Moir welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. She is a BACP counsellor with ten years of practice in the United Kingdom. Persephone aims to make first contact simple and straightforward for anyone feeling unsure about therapy. She helps people talk through trauma and abuse and the effects these experiences have on daily life. Conversations also cover struggles with intimacy, self-esteem and motivation. Persephone pays attention to how past relationships - including abandonment and attachment issues - shape how people relate now. Her work includes support for people facing body image concerns, chronic illness or pain, and difficulties around communication and codependency. She also offers a non-judgemental space for people involved in BDSM, kink and alternative sex cultures to talk openly about their experiences. Persephone listens for patterns such as dissociation, guilt and shame and helps people name those patterns. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as emotional understanding. Persephone and each client agree on what to address and which small changes to try between meetings. She uses clear, everyday language and keeps the pace suited to the person in front of her. People who want to begin are invited to use the platform Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. From there they can schedule sessions that suit their routine and preferences.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy

Persephone uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on understanding experience and building practical coping skills. One common approach she uses helps people track patterns in thoughts and feelings, then test small changes in daily life to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach focuses on processing trauma and the ways past harm affects present relationships, helping people feel more grounded and able to connect with others. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Persephone treats the decision as collaborative and will talk through options with each person. Together they consider the problem, the person's goals and how quickly they want to try different strategies before agreeing a plan. Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation where tone and body language matter. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing to talking or need support between sessions. These formats help fit therapy into busy lives and make it easier to attend from different locations.
