Peter Henry, AHPRA

Peter Henry is an AHPRA-registered practitioner with six years of clinical experience. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, eating concerns and depression. He aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and practical.

Peter respects that each person knows their own story. He works collaboratively and focuses on strengths people already have. Sessions tend to centre on practical strategies that fit into everyday life and on small, achievable steps toward clearer thinking and steadier routines.

His interests include men’s health, communication difficulties and questions about life purpose. He supports people who want to improve relationships, feel less isolated, or manage mood and behavioural patterns that get in the way of daily life. He is comfortable talking about eating and food-related issues and repetitive thoughts or behaviours.

Peter blends approaches such as cognitive behavioural work, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused conversation and person-centred listening. He tailors each session to the priorities a person brings and adjusts as goals change over time.

Evening and Saturday morning appointments are offered to help fit sessions around work and family commitments. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to his availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and repetitive thinking by teaching practical ways to move toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, panic and mood issues. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how past relationships shape current ways of relating and helps people build more helpful patterns in relationships and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Peter will collaborate with each person to identify which methods suit their situation, goals and preferences. He adapts techniques from different approaches as needed rather than using a single fixed method.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can help fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time and make it easier to maintain regular check-ins during workweeks. It also lets people use shorter check-ins, focus on specific habits between sessions and try skill-based exercises while keeping therapy part of everyday life.
