I gained my Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling in 2011 and have both volunteer & professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence as well as various other problematical areas of life. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I am pleased to say that I have been described as "down to earth" and "real" in my work which has always worked well with my clients. I also seem to have developed a healthy and well timed sense of humour when the occasion demands.

This forum does not provide any type of emergency services, so I want to be sure you know who to contact if you need immediate help.
It takes courage to reach out for help even when its being offered and to take the first steps towards a change. I work in an eclectic style calling upon a number of modalities to suit the clients need. But my work will always be Person Centred with the client at the heart of our work at all times. Three words are always at the centre of my work. CHOICE - RESPONSIBILITY - AUTONOMY. And I will work with you to regain ownership of them in your world. I will endeavour to check my messages a couple of times each day so I sincerely hope not to leave you awaiting my response for too long. I look forward to meeting you.

Peter is exactly what I was looking for in a therapist. I am always looking forward to our sessions and within the first few rounds we were able to uncover my main themes I want to help find resolution with. I feel confident and safe speaking with Peter and really enjoy this it's helping me with my personal development

I felt comfortable with him from the get go. I feel heard and am on the same wavelength as him. We’ve been able to put actionable steps in place for future events as well as working on adjusting my mindset to look after myself. Since working with Peter, I have discovered a new sense of confidence as well as practicing mindfulness and being in the moment. I highly recommend him, he’s a top individual.
