About Peter
Peter Saunders helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem and depression. He works with clients dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, sleep problems and parenting stress. Peter also supports people with ADHD, compassion fatigue and a wide range of other life challenges.
He has two decades of experience and holds NCPS as a listed credential. Peter uses a straightforward way of working. He treats clients as the experts on their own lives and focuses on practical steps that fit each person.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to make sense of difficult feelings and to find manageable ways forward. His approach draws on existential ideas about meaning and responsibility, plus client-centred listening that prioritises the client's experience. He also brings psychodynamic thinking to notice patterns from the past, and solution-focused methods to set achievable goals.
Peter completed his first diploma in 2002 and later gained a degree in integrative counselling in 2009. Over twenty years he has worked with many different concerns and developed a calm, steady style. He aims to create a space where people can talk plainly about what is worrying them.
If someone prefers clear, goal-oriented work combined with deeper reflection, Peter offers both. He encourages small steps that build confidence and better coping. The process is collaborative and paced to the client’s comfort.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Existential Therapy in Peter's work focuses on questions of meaning, choice and responsibility. Online sessions using this approach help people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about life's direction to reflect and make clearer personal choices.Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the heart of the work. In remote sessions this means careful listening, empathy and a steady presence that helps people feel heard and understood as they talk through their concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, personal preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods as the work develops to match changing needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video suits in-depth conversations and visual rapport, phone can be less bandwidth-heavy and easier during busy days, chat works well for shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on progress and practical steps.
