About Peter
Peter Gratrix is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and struggles with self-esteem. He also supports those dealing with grief, motivation difficulties and some addiction concerns.
Peter approaches each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion. He uses straightforward conversations to understand what matters most to each person. Sessions are adapted to individual needs so people can try practical steps between meetings.
Background and approach
Peter aims to help people build small skills that add up to real change over time. His work draws on client-centred ideas that keep the person's experience at the centre. He also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used to set goals and plan the next useful steps. Peter has experience supporting people with relationship and intimacy questions, parenting pressures, workplace stress and career choices. He also offers support for veteran and armed forces issues, fatherhood topics, trichotillomania and ADHD-related challenges.
These are approached in the same practical, person-led way. People who prefer a calm, collaborative style tend to find his approach helpful. He makes space for worries and works with clients to create doable plans.
The aim is steady progress, not quick fixes.

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 process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify goals and try methods that match personal needs and preferences. If something does not feel helpful, adjustments are made together so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are useful when visual connection matters, phone sessions can work well with lower bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can fit short check-ins or busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
