About Peter

I am passionate about supporting people to work out the patterns of behaviour they're in that causes them distress, and then to find ways out of this. My understanding is that we often build cages for ourselves to the point that there sometimes feel that there is no hope. I am uninterested in making the work longer than it needs to be: If there is an issue that you cannot see I will not hesitate to point it out. I specialise in shorter term work. I work with adults and young people who have come with lots of different issues, such as low-mood, sadness, anxiety, spiritual issues, self-harm and suicidal thoughts and intention. I work with clients from a variety of faiths, sexualities and gender.


I believed we change when we are cared for unconditionally; that whatever we reveal about ourselves, even the bits we hope no-one ever sees, we will still be cared for. I also believe that we need someone who will truly listen to us, both what we're saying and what we're not and who can see the parts of us that we cannot. We also need someone who has done the work on themselves so that they are clear what is the therapist's and what the client's. I see my job as providing that for you, so that you can change.


I sometimes use music in my therapeutic work. Sometimes I improvise music in sessions to feel and understand what may be too difficult for my client to put into words. I can also record the music and send it to the client afterwards. I believe in working with the whole of the person. Not just the mind, the feelings or the body. Music touches all these things together. Please do get in touch if you are interested. I can offer a free 15 minute consultation as a way of assessing whether we believe it will be helpful to work together.

Peter's Testimonials

  • "I was so hesitant about getting therapy at the start and even when I was looking but it turned out to be one of the best things I've ever done. I feel like there's a huge weight gone from my shoulders and I'm finally able to accept and look forward to the path I'm on and in doing so it's allowed me to grow and really enjoy who I'm becoming."

    Client

  • "When I sought out a therapist I was struggling to function and crucially unable to figure out what was causing my pain. Peter helped me slowly unravel my problems so that I could understand them, and then how I could learn to deal with them. The progress we made was incredible, and over time it felt like the fog had been lifted and I was able to enjoy the days again. Peter is warm, patient, non-judgemental, and I would recommend him to anybody looking for a helping hand during a difficult time."

    Client

  • "When I came to Pete, I was constantly filled with anxiety about my work. Pete was a wonderful listener, prompting me to talk through my worries and giving me lots of space to do so. I think he probably knew what was causing the anxiety from our first set of sessions, but instead slowly prompted me to work through the underlying causes of the anxiety at my own pace. I looked forward to our lessons every week as I always left feeling calm, and one step further towards dealing with my anxiety. I couldn’t recommend Pete enough as his approach is one of kindness, patience and trust."

    Client

  • "When I first started my sessions I was filled with anxiety about my job, and no longer have anxiety about my job. Without being too cliche it honestly changed my life. It helped me to work through anxiety about work, family and social life. It has also equipped me with skills should I face anxiety, I now know how to deal with it. "

    Client

  • "Therapy was so so hard, and I didn’t know if it was worth it at the time, but now looking back the difference is amazing. To talk to someone without being judged and knowing that they will keep it all to themselves. I am going to be myself, truly myself, unapologetically myself. "
