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
- 5 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, 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.
