About Peter
Peter Parknas is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. He offers short, direct sessions that focus on everyday problems such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, depression, grief, ADHD and anger-related concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and Swedish and are aimed at adults managing these issues in their daily lives.
Peter describes his role as working together with clients to identify and use existing personal resources. He helps people notice what still works for them and what has been knocked off course. Conversations aim to be straightforward and practical, with an emphasis on what people can do differently between meetings.
His way of working draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques. That mix is used to look at how patterns began, what keeps them going, and small changes that reduce reactivity and tension. Mindfulness and existential approaches are also part of his toolkit for people wrestling with meaning, loss or identity questions.
Sessions often focus on concrete skills - spotting triggers, practising gentle behaviour changes, and testing new ways of talking in difficult moments. He also supports people who need to process past hurts or trauma and understand how those experiences affect current reactions.
People can expect a calm, direct conversation that aims to make problems clearer and more manageable. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to agree goals and a way forward.
How sessions work
How his approaches work for online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current reactions and connection patterns. In practice this means looking at how trust and closeness show up in relationships and how that links to anger or withdrawal.Client-centred therapy prioritises listening and the client’s experience. Sessions give people space to describe moments when they lose their temper and to reflect on what helps them calm down or respond differently.
Cognitive behavioural elements are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behaviour changes. This is useful for workplace frustration, repeated arguments, or unhelpful rumination that fuels anger.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to use based on their goals and preferences. That may shift as practical skills are practised and progress is reviewed.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work or family time, cut travel, or choose shorter check-ins when life is busy. They can also allow sessions without being on camera if that helps someone take part more comfortably.
