More about Peter
- 12 years' experience
- Male
- NCPS
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, 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 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
