I'm really good at helping people who are stuck on problems either get past them or come to terms with them. :)
I am non-binary (they/them) and work with all sorts of people including clients from the LGBTQ+ community; clients with autism and ADHD; and with clients who are questioning whether they belong in those groups. :) Allies always welcome. :)
I do: listen to you and help identify your feelings. Suggest mental models to help you understand yourself better. You can, and should, tell me when I get it wrong!:)
I don't: give advice or diagnose you. Ask you questions to satisfy my curiosity or "force" you to do things.
If you have had previous bad experiences of therapy I hope to be worthy of your trust.
Life is hard and seeking help to understand yourself takes courage. Click through and start your journey with me. :)

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.

Peter was not my first therapist on the app. There are those who claim to know about queer issues, and then there's Peter. In the midst of my personal crisis Peter supported me, listened carefully to my story before making snap judgments, and helped me find a way out of my panic. Peter exceeded my expectations of what a therapist can be in times of need. I feel as though I have gained a friend with incredible compassion. I highly recommend Peter, I hope that doesn't fill up their schedule so much that there's no time for me when I need them, but this one is special!
After 40 minutes of non stop talking from me, on our first session, Peter summarised it perfectly. Peter clearly has a gift for deciphering what is ultimately being said. He has shown himself to be a very genuine person, allowing humour into the session when it warrents it, empathy throughout. Thanks Peter
