About Peter
Peter Saunders is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. He also supports clients with self-esteem, motivation and issues linked to LGBT identities. He speaks English and draws on two decades of experience in the field.
He works from the view that each person knows their life best. Sessions focus on what matters to the client and build on existing strengths.
Background and approach
The first steps are often about making sense of what feels overwhelming and finding small, practical changes. Peter trained in integrative counselling and holds NCPS as a credential. He has been working with people since the early 2000s and combines different ways of working to match what a person needs.
That means sessions may include reflective talking, exploring patterns from the past, or setting small goals for the week. His style is warm and straightforward. He aims to create a steady place to talk through painful experiences, grief, trauma or shifts in identity.
He pays attention to how life stories, relationships and personal values shape present struggles. People who come to him often want practical direction as well as a listening ear. Peter can help identify habits that keep problems going and try new approaches in manageable steps.
He encourages people to try things between sessions and to review what helps. Sessions are available online through calls, chat or messaging so that people can fit therapy around work and family life. The approach is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Approaches Peter lists

Online support
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that come from earlier relationships and life events. It can help people understand recurring emotional responses and how past experiences influence current feelings and choices.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Peter will work together with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can mean trying one way for a few sessions and adjusting if something else seems more helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let you use visual cues and a fuller conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and shorter live chat or text-based messaging can fit quick check-ins or days when longer sessions are difficult. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
