I gained my Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling in 2011 and have both volunteer & professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence as well as various other problematical areas of life. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I am pleased to say that I have been described as "down to earth" and "real" in my work which has always worked well with my clients. I also seem to have developed a healthy and well timed sense of humour when the occasion demands.

This forum does not provide any type of emergency services, so I want to be sure you know who to contact if you need immediate help.
It takes courage to reach out for help even when its being offered and to take the first steps towards a change. I work in an eclectic style calling upon a number of modalities to suit the clients need. But my work will always be Person Centred with the client at the heart of our work at all times. Three words are always at the centre of my work. CHOICE - RESPONSIBILITY - AUTONOMY. And I will work with you to regain ownership of them in your world. I will endeavour to check my messages a couple of times each day so I sincerely hope not to leave you awaiting my response for too long. I look forward to meeting you.

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.

Peter is an excellent person to speak to. He listens to everything you say and his advice has made massive difference to my life. I really cannot recommend him enough.
I felt comfortable with him from the get go. I feel heard and am on the same wavelength as him. We’ve been able to put actionable steps in place for future events as well as working on adjusting my mindset to look after myself. Since working with Peter, I have discovered a new sense of confidence as well as practicing mindfulness and being in the moment. I highly recommend him, he’s a top individual.
Peter is easy to talk and open up to
