About Peter
Peter Thompson offers a person-centred counselling style that places the client at the heart of the work. He uses clear, straightforward language and aims to create a down-to-earth, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult feelings and situations. Peter introduces choice, responsibility and autonomy as central themes in therapy and encourages clients to regain control over their lives.
He has 14 years of experience and holds an NCPS credential.
Background and approach
Peter draws on a mix of approaches to fit each person’s needs rather than relying on a single method. Sessions often include practical conversations about coping skills, motivation and everyday changes that can make life easier. Peter has supported people with stress, anxiety and depression, as well as grief and loss.
He also helps with relationship and communication problems, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, anger and compassion fatigue. Addictions, sleeping problems and ADHD are among other areas he addresses. Additional concerns he focuses on include attachment and abandonment, BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture, commitment issues, divorce and separation, domestic violence, cancer, first responder issues and forgiveness work.
He aims to respond with honesty and, when appropriate, a well timed sense of humour to ease difficult moments. Sessions are conducted in English and Peter accepts international clients. He asks new clients to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to his availability.
He checks messages a couple of times a day and seeks to respond without long delays.

How Peter works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Peter will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adapt methods accordingly. That way the plan reflects what matters to the individual and what feels most useful for their situation.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, travel or parenting by removing a commute and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit quieter conversations where people prefer not to travel far. Registered or accredited professionals can offer therapy this way, and Peter aims to help clients use sessions in ways that fit everyday life.
