About Peter
Before moving into therapy, Peter spent many years in the restaurant sector and later served as creative director of his own drinks company. That background gives him direct insight into the pressures of work life and the particular toll stress and anxiety can take on wellbeing. He draws on those lived and professional experiences to understand practical and emotional challenges clients bring.
Peter approaches the first steps of therapy with respect for how difficult it can be to reach out. He acknowledges the courage involved in starting this work and aims to offer steady, compassionate support as clients explore change and recovery.

How CBT and Psychodynamic Work Online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and developing practical strategies to change them. It is often used for issues such as anxiety, low mood, and problem behaviours related to addiction. Psychodynamic Therapy explores patterns from past experiences and relationships to understand how they influence current feelings and actions; it can help when deeper emotional themes like guilt, shame or repeated relationship difficulties are present.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Peter works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, goals and personal preferences, and he will help determine whether CBT, psychodynamic work, or a blend of approaches best suits each person's situation.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to access registered professionals from different locations. For many clients, this range of options supports consistent engagement with therapy and helps sustain progress over time.
