About Peter
Peter Coffey is a counsellor with six years of experience who focuses on helping people move past problems or learn to live with them. Peter uses a calm, listening approach and aims to make therapy straightforward and human. They are non-binary and works with people from the LGBT community as well as those with autism or ADHD, and supports allies too.
Peter begins by listening and helping clients name their feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational rather than directive. He will suggest simple models to help people understand themselves better and to see options they might not have noticed. Peter does not give medical diagnoses or hand out advice as a first response.
Instead he asks questions that aim to help people reflect, and welcomes correction if he misreads something. This approach helps people who feel stuck with anxiety, stress, grief, depression, anger, relationship problems or questions about gender and sexuality. Sessions can be used to work through communication difficulties, loneliness, midlife questions, or the practical and emotional impact of living with autism or ADHD.
He also offers space for people exploring non-traditional relationship styles or sexual identities, and for those dealing with issues linked to masculinity or men's mental health. People who have had poor experiences in therapy before can expect an open, respectful style. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to availability.
Client-centred work online and flexible session options
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as they are. The counsellor offers acceptance and helps people name their feelings, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, relationship questions and identity concerns. This approach aims to help people feel heard and to find their own solutions rather than being told what to do.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which ways of working fit their needs and goals. This might mean trying different formats or techniques until something feels useful and comfortable.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text are useful for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to attend sessions around work, school or family commitments and to keep therapy consistent over time.
