Peter has been a great support in helping to get me out of a rut. After just one month of weekly calls I have noticed improvements in my overall wellbeing. Peter creates a safe comfortable environment where you can sound your thoughts and ideas without fear of judgement. I would recommend Peter for anyone looking to improve their perspective on life and get back in drivers seat.

More about Peter

  • 4 years' experience
  • Male
  • BACP

I am credentialed in the UK with 4 years of professional experience.

I have helped clients work through stress and anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression and abuse. My priority is to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.

I also have a background in business. I spent many years in the restaurant sector and was creative director of my own drinks company. This has given me first hand experience of the toll stress and anxiety at work can take on an individual.

Taking this first step to sign up for therapy takes courage.

I am proud of you for getting started!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
