About Peter
Peter Saunders is a counsellor registered with the NCPS and has worked in the UK for around 20 years. He helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in self-esteem, struggling with relationships, or dealing with anger and grief. He also supports those facing issues linked to LGBT matters, parenting and sleep problems.
He sees people as the experts on their own lives and starts by listening to what matters most to them. Sessions focus on identifying strengths, clarifying goals and finding practical steps that fit everyday life. Conversations stay straightforward and goal-orientated rather than full of clinical jargon.
Peter draws on several therapy styles to match different needs. Client-Centred Therapy is used to keep the person’s experience central. Solution-Focused Therapy helps with short-term change and clear problem solving. Psychodynamic and Existential ideas are woven in when exploring patterns and meaning feels important.
He has worked across community and counselling settings since completing an integrative counselling degree in 2009 and a first diploma in 2002. Those years of practice have involved helping people with trauma, attachment and long-term coping, as well as situational problems like work stress and relationship conflict.
Practical matters such as how sessions run, fees and scheduling use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book an initial appointment. Sessions are offered in English in the United Kingdom.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy centres on the person’s experience, with the counsellor listening and reflecting what matters most. It helps when someone needs to be heard about anger, relationships or stress before practical change is planned. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, achievable steps and tools that can reduce anger and improve communication within weeks rather than months. It is useful for people who want direct, actionable changes.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and how much time someone wants to spend on short-term solutions versus deeper exploration. Together they decide which methods to emphasise and review progress as therapy continues.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make fitting sessions into a busy week easier and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule, or sessions without video if someone prefers less bandwidth use. Ask about practical arrangements when completing the matching questionnaire so sessions can be organised to fit everyday life.
