About Peter
Peter Thompson is a counsellor who uses a person-centred way of working. He emphasises choice, responsibility and autonomy, and aims to create a calm space where people can talk honestly. Peter holds an NCPS credential and has been practising since gaining his Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling in 2011.
He has 14 years of experience supporting people facing stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and low self-esteem. He also helps with anger, addictions, sleep problems and the practical strains of life like work and career worries. His approach is straightforward and down to earth, with a timely sense of humour when it fits the moment.
Peter draws on a range of therapies to meet someone’s needs, including client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas, psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused techniques. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and on small steps that build confidence and coping. He aims to treat people as equals and to work at a pace that feels right for them.
He is based in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. International clients are accepted. Beyond therapy, Peter writes and performs spoken-word poetry, which he sometimes brings into creative parts of the work when it suits a client’s interests.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Peter often combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas to help people notice patterns and try practical changes. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping someone find their own solutions, which can be useful for issues like low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers straightforward techniques for anxiety, stress and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before, then agree an approach that fits the person’s needs. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress unfolds.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Many people value online work because it can fit appointments around work, reduce travel time and make it easier to keep a regular schedule. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings when that suits practical needs. Peter will work with each client to arrange times and formats that fit everyday life.
