About Peter
Peter Gratrix is a counsellor with seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He works with people coping with stress, anxiety, low mood and loss, and he focuses on practical ways to help move forward.
Peter aims to treat everyone with respect and sensitivity. He adopts a direct but warm approach and keeps conversations focused on the client's immediate concerns.
Background and approach
He listens first, then helps set simple goals that fit a person's life and routine. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs. That might mean short-term goal work or a slower pace to process grief or trauma.
Peter uses client-centred listening, mindfulness practices and motivational techniques to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. He also supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting challenges, career stress, addiction and issues linked to identity and sexuality. Other areas he has worked with include trichotillomania, bipolar difficulties and coping with life changes.
Peter encourages a collaborative process. He helps clients agree clear next steps and checks progress as therapy continues. The aim is to build confidence and practical coping skills people can use outside sessions.
Approaches and online therapy that fit your life
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting conversation. The therapist follows the person's lead and helps them name what matters most. This approach suits people who want a caring space to sort through feelings and make decisions.Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and simple practices to calm the body and mind. It can help with persistent worry, sleep disruption and stress by training people to notice their thoughts and feelings without getting swept away.
Finding the right way to work together is a shared process. The therapist will talk through options, match methods to your priorities and adapt as progress is made. Goals are practical and reviewed regularly so the plan stays useful.
Online therapy offers several flexible formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer typing or need brief, frequent contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on steady progress and practical coping skills.
