About Peter
Peter Parknas uses a practical, person-focused approach to help people find clearer ways forward. He combines a few different therapies to match what each person needs. Peter aims to help people reconnect with their own strengths.
He speaks English and Swedish and practises from the United Kingdom. Peter works in a straightforward way. He helps people spot unhelpful patterns and try small changes that can make daily life easier.
Sessions focus on what matters most to the client, whether that is reducing anxiety, managing stress, or coping with grief.
Background and approach
He pays special attention to how early relationships shape current patterns. That helps when attachment, abandonment or intimacy issues are part of the problem. He also uses problem-focused techniques to tackle anxious thinking and unhelpful behaviours in the moment.
Peter can support people dealing with relationship strain and family problems by helping them name what is happening and build clearer communication. He also works with common life shifts such as midlife questions, career crossroads, or finding purpose after loss. In sessions he aims to create a calm space to talk things through without judgement.
You will be invited to try practical exercises and reflections between sessions when useful. Therapy is approached as a collaboration where the client’s goals guide the work.

Many people value online therapy because it can fit more easily into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and make scheduling simpler, which helps keep momentum between sessions.
