About Peter
Peter Thompson is a counsellor registered with the NCPS and has worked in therapeutic roles for 14 years. He offers practical, down-to-earth support for stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, and issues around self-esteem and motivation.
He uses a person-centred foundation in his work, putting client choice and autonomy at the centre of sessions. That means he aims to treat people as equals, and helps them take responsibility for the changes they want to make. He describes his style as straightforward and occasionally wry, using humour when it fits the moment.
Across his career he has supported people with a wide range of concerns. These include anger, addiction, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems, parenting strain, career pressure, and coping with life changes such as divorce or bereavement. He also lists specific focuses like attachment and abandonment, communication and control issues, and work with LGBT concerns and alternative sexual cultures.
Clinically he draws on client-centred work alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic ideas and Solution-Focused techniques. He adapts elements from these approaches to suit the person in the room, explaining options and helping clients choose what feels most useful.
He works in English and accepts international clients. He asks people to use the site button to view online therapy options, fill a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. He also writes and performs spoken word poetry outside his counselling practice.
How sessions work
How his approaches shape online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy in his work means sessions focus on the person’s priorities. The counsellor listens without directing the outcome and supports the client to make their own choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, when used, looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and offers straightforward ways to try small changes. Psychodynamic ideas are brought in to look at patterns from earlier relationships and how they turn up now, helping people understand repeating difficulties.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. He will talk through options, outline what each approach involves, and work with the client to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. The plan can be adjusted as the work progresses.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into busy days and keeping continuity when travel is difficult. Some clients prefer shorter check-ins while others use longer sessions for deeper work; the format can be chosen to suit everyday life. Because specific session formats are not listed in the original biography, please confirm current online session options before booking.
