Peter Saunders

Peter Saunders is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He has 20 years' experience and works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and problems with self-esteem. He also supports people with relationship concerns, grief, trauma and intimacy-related issues, and those exploring LGBT topics and ADHD-related challenges.

He takes a straightforward, person-centred approach. He treats each person as the expert in their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on what matters now and practical steps to ease pressure and improve daily coping.

His background includes a diploma completed in 2002 and a degree in integrative counselling finished in 2009. He also holds NCPS, and has practised for two decades in the UK. That experience has brought exposure to many different situations and concerns.

In session he listens without rushing and helps people name what is most urgent. Conversations often move between understanding past patterns and trying small experiments to change them. He aims to make the conversation feel usable and relevant to everyday life.

People looking for help are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. That begins the process of arranging sessions according to the therapist's schedule and the platform's booking steps.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and working at the client's pace. The counsellor follows what the person says and helps them find their own solutions, which can suit worries like anxiety, confidence and relationship strain.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical changes that make a difference quickly. Sessions often set clear goals and try short experiments between meetings to test what helps with stress or sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss different ways of working and agree on a plan based on goals, needs and personal preference. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow follow-ups that are shorter if needed. It can also suit people who prefer talking without face-to-face meetings or need appointments that fit a break at work. Registered or accredited professionals often find ways to make sessions practical and usable for everyday life.
