About Peter
Peter Garston helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression and low self-esteem. He also supports people facing relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, fatherhood issues and those coping with life changes or cancer. Peter is named in the first paragraph to make it clear who this profile describes.
He works in a straightforward, person-focused way. Sessions are led by the client’s concerns and pace. Peter aims to create a calm space where someone can talk through what is worrying them and try practical steps to feel better.
Background and approach
Peter trained as a counsellor and holds BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration. He draws on client-centred ideas and cognitive behavioural methods to shape sessions that fit each person. In practice this means discussing patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going, then trying small experiments to change them.
He also uses solution-focused techniques to spot what already works and build on it. The mix is practical and tailored to each person’s needs. Sessions can cover a wide range of concerns from addiction and bereavement to self-love and everyday coping.
Peter offers a warm, non-judgemental approach and aims to help people find clearer choices and gradual change. People who are ready to start complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions that suit their schedule.

Approaches Peter lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s goals and preferences, and may blend elements from different approaches as needed. This is a shared decision made step by step during early sessions.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual contact, phone calls suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, live chat allows real-time typed conversation, and messaging is handy for brief updates or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and different daily routines.
