About Peter
Peter Spanton is a counsellor who focuses on men’s wellbeing and common problems such as stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression and anger. He aims to make it easier for people to talk about difficult feelings. He presents as calm and straight-talking, and he encourages practical steps alongside reflective conversation.
He uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to consider how past experiences shape present patterns. Sessions are a mix of talking, short exercises and gentle reflection to help people notice what keeps problems going and try different ways of coping.
Peter trained in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration with five years of practice experience. Before counselling he worked in the restaurant trade and ran a drinks company, so he understands workplace pressure and the strain of running a business.
He often helps people who struggle with addiction issues, including drug and alcohol problems and process addictions such as gambling or pornography. He also supports those dealing with guilt, shame, emptiness, impulsivity and relationship difficulties.
Peter welcomes conversations about men’s issues and midlife concerns, and he aims to meet each person where they are. If someone is ready to begin, he asks them to complete the short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions based on availability.
How CBT and Psychodynamic Work Online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses short exercises and practical tools to help reduce anxiety, change unhelpful patterns and manage mood. Psychodynamic therapy focuses on how past experiences and relationships shape current reactions and habits, helping people understand long-standing patterns and their origins.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will try ways of working and adjust the approach if something doesn’t fit. This collaborative process helps people discover what gets results for them.
