About Peter
Peter Thompson is a counsellor who works in a person-centred way. He uses a plain, down-to-earth style to help people talk about stress, anxiety, relationships and loss. Peter holds the NCPS credential and has built 14 years of practice experience in the UK and Ireland.
He aims to make sessions feel like an open conversation rather than a lecture. He focuses on choice, responsibility and autonomy, and helps people take practical steps back towards control.
Background and approach
He also brings moments of humour when they fit the situation. Peter draws on a few different therapeutic approaches to meet each person’s needs. He commonly uses client-centred listening alongside cognitive-behavioural techniques and solution-focused strategies.
He adapts the mix depending on what someone wants to work on, from sleeping and concentration to coping with grief or addiction. People contact him for many issues including self-esteem, anger, intimacy questions, career concerns and the effects of trauma or abuse.
He also has experience supporting people with ADHD, compassion fatigue and concerns linked to sexual or alternative cultures such as BDSM and kink. Practical things are part of his offer too. Sessions are available online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
He accepts international clients and encourages a first step of choosing a session type and completing a short matching form to get started.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Peter uses client-centred counselling to create an accepting space where people can speak openly and decide the pace of work. This approach is about listening closely and following the person’s priorities, which helps with issues like anxiety, self-esteem and grief.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. CBT adds clear, practical techniques for managing anxiety, sleep problems and unhelpful patterns in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss goals, preferences and the issues you bring, and then pick or combine methods that suit you. This is a collaborative process that can change as you progress.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different routines. Video lets you see body language and build rapport, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier between commitments, and chat or messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing reflection. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the same therapeutic aims.
