About Peter
I am a Person-Centred Counsellor passionate about creating a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. Whether you’re seeking support for a specific challenge or simply need a place to pause and reflect, I am here to walk alongside you on your journey.
My approach is grounded in empathy and respect, recognising the unique experiences and strengths that each person brings. Over the years, I have developed a special interest in working with LGBTQ+ individuals, honoring the courage it takes to embrace and express your authentic self. I also have a deep commitment to supporting carers, understanding the emotional toll that comes with looking after loved ones. Together, we can explore how to prioritize your own well-being while navigating the challenges of caregiving.

Another area close to my heart is working with older adults and their families, particularly those facing the complexities of dementia. I understand how isolating and overwhelming these experiences can feel, and I aim to provide a steady, supportive presence through the ups and downs.
For young adults, I offer a space to explore life’s transitions, pressures, and questions about identity, helping you to find clarity and confidence. I also work with parents of neurodiverse children, offering understanding and guidance as you navigate the joys and challenges of parenting in a way that honors both your child’s needs and your own.
At the core of my practice is a belief in your capacity for growth and resilience. Whatever your story, I am here to help you find your voice, reconnect with your strengths, and move forward with greater self-understanding. If you feel ready to begin this journey together, I’d love to hear from you.
