About Peter
Peter Parknas is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He uses a practical, collaborative style to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and grief. Peter speaks English and Swedish and brings seven years of experience to sessions.
Peter focuses on helping people reconnect with the strengths they already have. He works alongside clients to identify useful patterns, build clearer boundaries and practice new ways of coping. Much of his work addresses the effects of unprocessed trauma, low self-esteem and life changes that feel overwhelming.
Background and approach
His approach draws on attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns and on client-centred listening to make space for what matters to each person. He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness strategies when they fit a person's needs. Sessions are practical and conversational rather than full of jargon.
Peter aims to create a calm, non-judgemental environment where people can talk about difficult feelings. He helps clients break problems into manageable steps and practise skills between sessions. The goal is steady progress, not sudden fixes.
People often come for help with parenting stress, intimacy concerns, anger, addiction to certain behaviours, or feeling stuck in life decisions. Peter supports those dealing with family of origin issues, abandonment or attachment wounds, and cultural or identity questions that affect everyday wellbeing.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Peter blends attachment-based work with client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people change repeating cycles in their close relationships. Client-centred work gives space for people to be heard and understood, helping them find their own solutions at their own pace. Cognitive behavioural techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.Finding the right mix of approaches is a joint process. Peter will discuss your goals and preferences and together help decide which methods to try first. That collaboration makes it easier to tailor sessions to what actually helps you day to day rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.
Online therapy lets people access counselling in ways that fit their life. Video calls are useful for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quicker check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options give flexibility for work schedules, travel constraints or simply when a shorter check-in is needed.
