Peter brings kindness, gentleness, understanding and insightful perspectives on personal matters. A true gem, Peter somehow manages to make even the most difficult situations feel manageable. His general approach lightens the load with his humour and bright energy and simultaneously offers true depth and wisdom. Peter is truly balanced and injected hope and support during some of my darkest moments. Highly recommended to anyone in need of non-judgmental listening ear and solid guidance and tools to work through personal issues.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Very tuned in to day to day issues.
Peter is by far the best therapist I’ve ever had the chance to talk with . He helps me explore myself and my past without feeling like we are just checking off boxes . He has been a tremendous help so far and look forward to continue working with Peter
It's really easy to talk and express myself in these sessions, I feel listened to in a way I haven't gotten from other therapists.
I have been working with Peter for several months now, and he is wonderful! He not only spends our sessions focusing on exactly what I want to discuss, but he also is quick to respond to my messages to help me throughout the week. I have a difficult time opening up and really connecting with a therapist, but with Peter, I really feel like I am valued and cared about!
Peter is a really amazing therapist who has been able to get me to open up and feel comfortable about talking about anything. He’s very good!
Peter is a really good and fun therapist who really takes the time to get to understand you on a personal level. It feels a lot like talking to a friend (in a good way). I’ve been able to open up to him about things that I haven’t been able to be open with about to other therapists.
