Background and approach

This might mean short skills practice, adjusting thinking patterns, or focusing on values and what someone wants to do differently. He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Those methods are applied in simple ways - learning skills to manage worry, noticing unhelpful thoughts, and working out what matters to the client.

Sessions can take several forms, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Petrus aims to match the format to what will fit into a person’s life and day-to-day needs. People often come to him with relationship communication problems, family of origin issues, body image concerns, or difficulties linked to adoption and attachment.

He also supports those navigating BDSM, kink and other alternative sex cultures without judgement. Starting therapy involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that suits the client. Petrus focuses on clear next steps so progress feels manageable from the first sessions.

How Petrus blends therapeutic approaches for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety or when life feels stuck because it focuses on small, meaningful changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to spot and shift thinking patterns, and to change behaviours that keep stress or low mood going. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre of sessions, prioritising empathy and non-judgement so people can find their own solutions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Petrus will discuss goals and preferences with each person and then tailor methods together. That collaborative planning means the therapy is adjusted if something isn’t working or needs to be stronger in one area.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls suit more in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a quicker option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing contact, brief reflections or keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while using methods such as ACT and CBT in practical ways.
