Peter Saunders, NCPS

Peter Saunders is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. He also helps with self-esteem, motivation, LGBT matters, grief and parenting strains. He has two decades of experience and aims to make the first appointment easier to take.

He works from the belief that each person knows their story best and brings strengths to their own recovery. Sessions focus on listening, building practical steps and spotting patterns in thoughts and everyday habits that keep problems stuck. The work is collaborative and paced to what the client can manage.

Peter trained in integrative counselling and completed a first diploma in 2002, followed by a degree in integrative counselling in 2009. He lists his credential as NCPS and has around 20 years of practice. That background informs a flexible style rather than a single strict method.

In session he draws on a blend of client-centred, psychodynamic, existential and solution-focused ideas. That means time is taken to understand how past experiences shape current reactions, while also finding small, usable changes for day-to-day life. Conversations look at feelings, relationships and thinking patterns that affect sleep, intimacy and coping with change.

Many people come for help with trauma, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related struggles, body image and complex family situations. Peter aims to create a steady, manageable process so people can try out new ways of thinking and acting between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own priorities and experiences. The counsellor offers reflective listening and supports the client to make choices that feel right, which can help with low mood, self-esteem and relationship worries. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how early relationships and past experiences influence current reactions. Talking about those patterns can help explain recurring thoughts, attachment issues and emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and together they will decide which ways of working to try. That collaborative process may include trying different techniques until a helpful fit is found.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break and let people meet from a familiar daily setting. The exact session formats are not specified here, so please confirm the current options before booking. The emphasis is on practical access and choosing methods that support steady progress without adding extra strain.
