About Peter
Peter Coffey is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who feel stuck. They use a listening approach to help clients make sense of their situation, move past problems, or find ways to live with them. Peter is non-binary and works with people from the LGBT community, and with those who have autism or ADHD.
Allies are also welcome. Peter has six years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP.
Background and approach
They aim to create a space where someone can say when the therapist gets something wrong. That straightforward honesty is part of how they build trust with people who have had poor experiences of therapy before. In sessions Peter listens, helps identify feelings, and suggests simple models to understand thoughts and behaviour.
They do not give medical advice or make diagnoses. Instead, they ask questions to help people clarify what matters to them and what they want to change. People come to Peter for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, anger, depression and ADHD.
Additional focus areas include sexuality, gender dysphoria, communication problems, loneliness, midlife concerns, and non-monogamous relationships. Sessions are offered in English and are available in several online formats. Peter encourages people to speak up about what they need from therapy and to shape the process together.

Approaches Peter lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Peter uses a simple, collaborative style in online work. They aim to hear what you need and will invite feedback when something does not feel right. Together you will try different ways of working until you find what fits your goals and circumstances.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging work well for shorter check-ins, brief reflections or when writing helps you think things through. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when in-person meetings are impractical.
