About Peter
Peter Waters is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with the NCPS credential and 17 years of experience. He focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship and intimacy-related concerns. He aims to provide respectful, sensitive support and works to tailor conversations to each person’s needs.
He supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, addictions, grief and challenges around eating, sleeping and self-esteem. He also addresses a wide range of relationship and identity issues including LGBT concerns and matters linked to adoption, foster care and attachment. He names areas such as anger, bipolar, codependency and body image among his practice topics.
In sessions he adapts his style to the person in front of him. He uses client-centred listening to clarify what matters most to the client. He may draw on cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and practical steps that can be tried between sessions.
He also brings existential ideas to help people reflect on life direction and meaning, alongside mindfulness practices for managing stress and staying present. These approaches are mixed to suit the issues being worked on rather than applied rigidly.
Peter accepts international clients and conducts work in English. Therapy is organised through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time; candidates begin by using the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire before scheduling sessions.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says so they feel understood. Online sessions using this approach involve open conversation, and the counsellor follows the client’s pace to clarify goals and priorities.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. In a remote setting it is often used to spot unhelpful thinking, try short experiments between sessions and build practical coping steps for anxiety, low mood or stress.
Mindfulness Therapy brings simple attention and breathing practices into day-to-day life to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These practices can be guided during online meetings and assigned as short exercises to practise between appointments.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and together they will choose what to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Confirming formats helps you pick what fits your routine - for example shorter check-ins that suit a work break or sessions without video if you prefer not to use a camera. Online work can make it easier to schedule therapy around everyday life and to practise strategies between meetings.
