About Persephone
Persephone Moir is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years of professional experience. She helps people facing anxiety, stress and low mood. She also supports those dealing with trauma, abuse and difficulties around intimacy and self-esteem.
Persephone aims to make the first steps into therapy straightforward. She encourages open conversation and works to create a calm space where clients can talk without feeling judged. She acknowledges that starting therapy can feel daunting and highlights the courage it takes to begin.
Background and approach
In sessions she focuses on practical conversation and steady listening. People can expect to talk about what feels most pressing and to set small, manageable goals. Persephone pays attention to patterns such as attachment concerns, abandonment fears and codependent behaviours so these can be understood and changed over time.
She has also worked with people affected by chronic pain, disability, body image issues and the specific concerns of those in kink or alternative sexual cultures. Other areas she addresses include communication problems, dissociation, guilt, shame and family-related stresses. Persephone holds BACP registration, which she lists as part of her professional standing in the UK.
Her approach is compassionate and practical, aimed at helping people build resilience and clearer ways to cope in day-to-day life.

How therapeutic approaches and online sessions work together
Persephone draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and changing day-to-day responses. One common strand is work that looks at attachment and relationship patterns - this helps when intimacy, abandonment or communication are causing distress by identifying repeated responses and testing healthier ways to relate. Another practical approach involves gradually building coping skills for anxiety and low mood, using step-by-step exercises and short goals to reduce overwhelm and increase confidence.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the collaborative process. Persephone will listen to what matters to the client, try out what fits, and adjust the method as work progresses. The aim is to match techniques to the person's needs and preferences rather than to use a single fixed style.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can suit a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging allow ongoing reflection and quick contact between longer sessions. These choices help people find a practical way to engage with therapy from wherever they are in the UK.
