About Peter
Peter Turner helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and the fallout of past trauma and abuse. He also supports people coping with life changes, trouble with focus and attention, addictions, sleeping or eating difficulties, anger and career questions. His approach includes practical work on panic, obsessive behaviours, bipolar mood concerns and grief.
Peter works in a straightforward, person-centred way. He believes people are the authors of their own stories and already hold strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be collaborative and down-to-earth, so conversations stay focused on what matters to each person. He uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact, and Mindfulness Therapy, which helps people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept along by them.
These methods are combined with a client-centred attitude that keeps the person's goals at the forefront. With 11 years of experience, Peter has worked across a variety of common difficulties. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP.
People who come to see him can expect a calm, practical space to talk things through and try different ways of coping. He encourages small steps that can make everyday life feel more manageable and hopeful.

How Peter works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, panic, obsessions and low mood.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without acting on them immediately. This can reduce reactivity and help with stress, rumination and sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and day-to-day life, and together they will decide which methods to try. That choice can change as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find online working helps fit therapy into busy routines, makes it easier to attend from different locations, and lets short check-ins or longer sessions be scheduled around work or family commitments.
