About Petrus
Petrus Naude is a counsellor with NCPS credentialing and ten years of practice in the United Kingdom. He works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. He also offers support around LGBT concerns and coping with life changes.
Petrus aims to meet people where they are. He listens with respect and responds with clear, practical steps. Sessions are shaped to match each person's needs rather than following a fixed script.
Background and approach
Over a decade of clinical work has given him experience with many common struggles. He has helped people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, body image worries, guilt and shame, and difficulties around communication and commitment. His approach draws on a mix of methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, along with client-centred and solution-focused ways of working.
He adapts these to suit what each person says they want to change. Petrus can work in English or Afrikaans and accepts international clients. He offers several session formats so people can choose what fits their life.
Starting therapy typically begins with a short matching questionnaire and then arranging sessions to suit schedules. People who prefer a direct but compassionate style may find his way of working helpful. He emphasises practical steps, shared decision making, and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
If someone is feeling overwhelmed by mood, relationships or life transitions, he can help them talk it through and plan next steps.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses practical exercises and short experiments to change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit the person's situation. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity when schedules change.
