About Persephone
Persephone Moir is a counsellor with ten years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She supports people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, low self-esteem and depression. Persephone aims to make the first step feel manageable and offers a calm, respectful presence for those who are nervous about reaching out.
She creates a space where people can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings without fear of being judged.
Background and approach
Conversations are direct and practical, focused on what is troubling someone now and what would feel different. Persephone pays attention to how past relationships and experiences can shape current reactions, including issues around attachment and abandonment. Her work also addresses concerns such as body image, chronic pain and illness, codependency, dissociation and communication problems.
She is familiar with topics that include autism and Asperger Syndrome, BDSM and kink culture, and fatherhood issues. When needed, she helps people think through guilt, shame and the task of forgiving themselves or others. Persephone describes her methods as evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person.
Sessions are conversational and aim to build small, practical steps that fit everyday life. She acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage and offers steady support as people find their own pace. People seeking help are invited to consider what they want to change and to work together on achievable goals.
Persephone uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy work around busy schedules.
Therapeutic approaches and how online therapy helps
Persephone uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are practical and goal-focused. One common method she draws on encourages people to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress because it helps break patterns that keep problems going.She also attends to relational patterns such as attachment and abandonment. This work looks at how past relationships shape current reactions and helps people try new ways of relating and communicating, which can ease intimacy-related difficulties and feelings of emptiness.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Persephone will discuss options with each person and agree on a plan that matches their needs, goals and preferences. Together they review progress and adjust the work as needed so it stays useful.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives or mobility limits. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging lets someone reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a day and to keep continuity when schedules change.
