About Peter
Peter Saunders is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety and related struggles. He works with concerns such as relationship problems, low self-esteem, depression and issues linked to LGBT identity. With 20 years of experience, he aims to make the first steps feel manageable for anyone feeling overwhelmed.
He believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. Sessions focus on building on those strengths while addressing what gets in the way.
Background and approach
Conversations are straightforward and paced to suit the individual, with time given to understand what matters most to them. Peter trained in integrative counselling and holds the NCPS credential. He draws on different ways of working to match a person’s situation rather than following a single formula.
That helps when people bring mixed or complex concerns like trauma, grief, or life changes. Practical issues such as sleeping problems, parenting stress, chronic health challenges, and anger are also included in his practice. He can assist with specific topics like attachment, codependency and body image when these come up in therapy.
People can expect a calm, respectful space where the therapist listens and gently helps them test new ways of coping. The emphasis is on small, achievable steps that fit into everyday life.
Therapeutic approaches online and how they help
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person says. The therapist provides acceptance and reflection so clients can find their own solutions; this works well for anxiety, self-esteem and relationship worries.Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical changes that make a difference quickly. It helps people set clear goals and try specific steps between sessions, which can be useful for stress, motivation and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through different ways of working and agree on what fits the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That choice is made together and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy here is offered by registered or accredited professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging lets people reflect in their own time. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
