About Peter
Peter Parknas is a counsellor who combines relational insight with practical tools. He draws on seven years of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Swedish and he sees people across the United Kingdom and internationally.
He uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. He also uses client-centred ways of working that put the person's own goals and experience at the centre.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioural approaches are used when people want concrete steps to change anxious or unhelpful thinking. Peter aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk about difficult feelings. He listens for patterns linked to family of origin, commitment, control and communication problems.
Together with the person he identifies small, manageable changes to try between sessions. Common concerns he works with include trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy difficulties, parenting stress, anger and self-esteem problems. He also supports people dealing with multicultural issues, midlife questions, narcissism, phobias and life purpose struggles.
In sessions he focuses on practical ways to cope right now while also examining longer-standing relationship patterns. The work tends to be collaborative, with the person and counsellor deciding what feels most helpful. This approach helps people regain confidence and move toward a life that feels more satisfying.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the journey. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and then decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process means the style of therapy can shift over time if something else seems more useful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which gives practical flexibility. Video is useful when non-verbal feedback matters, phone needs less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, chat and messaging suit people who prefer typed reflection or brief check-ins. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and to work around work, family and travel commitments.
