About Peter
Peter Waters is a counsellor with 17 years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. He holds NCPS which is shown as a credential, and he focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. He aims to meet people with respect, sensitivity and compassion from the first conversation.
He commonly helps with trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues and addictions, and also works with grief, sleeping and eating concerns.
Background and approach
He has a particular interest in attachment-related matters such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, and attachment difficulties. He also supports people exploring identity and LGBT concerns and issues around body image and self-esteem. His approach is practical and person-focused.
Peter uses client-centred conversations to understand what matters to the person, and he draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. He also uses existential questions to help people find meaning and mindfulness techniques to reduce stress and focus attention. Sessions are adapted to each person.
He tailors discussions and plans to the unique situation and goals you bring. He describes therapy as a collaborative process where small changes and steady work lead to clearer choices and more manageable day to day life. Peter accepts international clients and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to connect people and then sessions are scheduled according to availability.

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
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and life circumstances with each person and then suggest which methods to try first. Together they review progress and adapt the plan so the work stays relevant and achievable.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit therapy around work, family or travel. Video sessions are close to face-to-face conversation, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in and messaging lets people reflect and write between sessions. Many people find online therapy makes it easier to maintain regular contact and keep momentum in their work.
