About Peter
Peter Henry is an AHPRA-credentialled counsellor with six years of clinical experience. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, eating and food-related issues, and depression. He speaks plainly and aims to make first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
Peter believes people know their own stories and brings a collaborative stance to sessions. He listens for strengths and practical options you can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on small, achievable changes rather than big promises about outcomes. His approach mixes evidence-informed therapies with a warm, person-focused style. That includes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address anxious thoughts and avoidance.
He also uses Client-Centred and Attachment-Based ideas to build trust and clearer communication about feelings. Peter has a particular interest in men's issues and communication problems. He supports people who feel stuck by shame, guilt or emptiness, and those coping with obsessive thoughts, panic attacks, or social anxiety.
He will prioritise the problem that matters most to you and work step by step. Practical arrangements are offered with evening and Saturday morning appointments to fit busy schedules. Peter offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so people can choose what suits them best.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting those thoughts control their actions. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps that matter to the person. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as the work progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls suit more in-depth conversations while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier for quick check-ins. Live chat and messaging make it simple to fit short contacts into a busy day or to follow up between meetings. These formats give flexibility and let people pick the way that fits their routine and comfort level.
