I am a licensed psychotherapist based the UK. I believe that we all have been equipped with the tools needed to create a life for ourselves that we enjoy and feel proud of to lead. However, we sometimes get side-tracked and lose faith in or forget how to utilise those tools.
My role would be to work together with you to locate, tune and activate those latent resources, that will allow you to start living towards the life that you need to lead to be happy.
My interest areas are centred around stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, depression and also around trauma and the negative impact unprocessed trauma can have on us.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
Additional areas of focus: LGBT, Trauma and abuse, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Parenting issues, Anger management, Self esteem, Coping with life changes, Abandonment, Attachment issues, Commitment issues, Communication problems, Control issues, Domestic violence, Family of origin issues, Family problems, Guilt and shame, Infidelity, Life purpose, Midlife crisis, Multicultural concerns, Narcissism, Phobias, Post-traumatic stress, Sex addiction, Sexual assault and abuse, Sexuality, Workplace issues

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Peter Parknas. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I have been seeing Peter for about four months now and can honestly say it has been a transformative experience.
While I was not sure if it would work for me after the first session, I am glad I came back to the next session. He has created a safe, welcoming environment where I feel heard and understood. Peter listens deeply, asks insightful questions, and offers compassionate and practical guidance. His ability to help me navigate emotions and challenging situations has been invaluable. I feel more confident and self-aware in navigating life’s difficulties. I highly recommend Peter to anyone looking for a supportive and effective therapist.

Peter offers me support, guidance and understanding and helps me to question myself in a gentle, supportive way that leads me to answers my own questions. There's no judgement nor a feeling that he's just going through the motions, but gives me confidence and an understanding of why I feel the ways I do. He helps me to think about the issues that affect me, and reassuringly, he helps me understand that I'm not alone in my overthinking and state of mind. My sessions with Peter always give me a boost.
