About Persephone
Persephone Moir is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and problems with intimacy. She speaks plainly and aims to make the first step feel manageable. Persephone has a decade of professional experience in the UK and holds BACP registration.
She focuses on helping people talk through anxiety, trauma and abuse, and the everyday effects these can have on relationships and self-worth. She also supports those coping with depression, low confidence and motivation.
Background and approach
The work is conversational and grounded in real-life changes rather than abstract theory. Persephone aims to build an open, non-judgemental space where people can name difficult feelings. Sessions typically look at what is happening now, how patterns formed, and small steps to try between meetings.
She encourages practical experiments and honest feedback about what helps. She has additional experience supporting people dealing with abandonment and attachment issues, body image concerns, chronic pain or illness, codependency and communication problems. Persephone also works with matters around kink and alternative sex culture, dissociation and the emotional impact of domestic violence.
People can expect a calm, straightforward approach that balances listening with action. Persephone believes therapy should fit the person, so goals are set together and reviewed as work progresses. Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and sessions are carried out in English.
How approaches translate to online therapy
Persephone draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and making small changes. One common method helps people spot how anxiety and avoidance keep problems going, then tests gentle behavioural steps to reduce fear and increase confidence. Another method centres on talking through past hurts and abuse in a paced way so emotional responses ease and relationships can feel safer. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Persephone discusses options with each person and adapts techniques to fit their goals and comfort. She treats the process as collaborative and checks in often about what is helpful and what needs changing. Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are useful when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth needs. Messaging and live chat suit short check-ins, quick reflections or people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health needs while keeping the focus on steady progress.Questions people ask
