About Peter
Peter Saunders helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. He supports those facing self-esteem struggles, grief, trauma and intimacy-related issues. He also works with people coping with parenting pressures, sleep problems, anger and compassion fatigue.
Peter uses plain language and a calm approach to make starting therapy less daunting. Peter trained in integrative counselling and has practised for 20 years. He holds NCPS as a credential.
He begins by listening closely to each person's story and priorities.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters now and practical steps that fit everyday life. His approach draws on client-centred work to follow the person's pace and perspective. He also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat across relationships.
Solution-focused techniques help set small, achievable goals and track progress week to week. Peter is experienced supporting people with LGBT concerns, adoption and foster care issues, attachment and abandonment themes, and matters around kink and alternative sex culture. He also addresses complex presentations such as dissociation, chronic illness, codependency and ADHD-related challenges.
Sessions are conversational and straightforward. Peter aims to create a space where people can talk honestly, try new ways of coping, and leave with clearer steps forward. He encourages anyone feeling overwhelmed by life changes to take the first step and reach out.

Approaches Peter lists

Online support
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat across relationships and over time. It helps uncover how past experiences shape current reactions and can be useful for trauma, attachment issues and persistent mood problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and help choose methods that match the person's goals, needs and preferences. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan can change if something else seems more helpful.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller check-in is wanted. Phone sessions can be a good option when a quieter, no-camera session is needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick reflections between sessions, or people who prefer typed communication. These options aim to increase flexibility and make regular sessions easier to maintain.
