Persephone Moir, BACP

Persephone Moir helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low or stuck. She writes plainly and listens closely so conversations stay simple and useful. Persephone aims to make first steps feel manageable for someone scrolling on a phone.

She has worked in the United Kingdom for 10 years and holds BACP accreditation, which is a recognised professional membership in counselling. Persephone has particular experience supporting people with stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with trauma and abuse, and problems around intimacy and self esteem.

Persephone uses a direct, down-to-earth style in sessions. She focuses on what is happening now and on small changes that make day-to-day life easier. Sessions are a chance to talk things through, test out new ways of coping, and plan straightforward next steps.

Her wider areas of focus include attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, communication difficulties, and issues related to chronic pain or illness. She also offers support around BDSM, kink and alternative sexual culture and helps people navigate feelings of guilt, shame or emptiness.

Persephone offers a calm space to name what feels hard and to practice different responses. People often come for help with regaining confidence, improving relationships, or managing distressing memories and reactions.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled session help establish goals and the practical shape of therapy.

Practical therapy approaches and online access

Persephone draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people manage symptoms and rebuild everyday confidence. One approach focuses on practical problem-solving and coping strategies to reduce stress and anxiety; it teaches concrete steps people can use between sessions to feel steadier. Another approach addresses trauma-related reactions by helping people make sense of painful memories and learn ways to respond differently to triggers, reducing their impact on daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Persephone will ask about your goals, current struggles and what you prefer from therapy, then together you will choose methods that fit. That collaboration helps make sure the chosen techniques feel useful and realistic for your situation.

Online therapy offers flexibility and simpler logistics. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter reflections, ongoing check-ins or days when typing is preferable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and busy schedules while still getting consistent support.
