About Peter
Peter Parknas is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience. He helps people who are juggling stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, depression, grief, ADHD issues, and difficulties with anger and intimacy. He works in English and Swedish and accepts international clients.
He believes people already have resources that can help them move forward. In sessions he works alongside clients to find and use those resources. Conversations focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than labels or judgement.
Peter draws on approaches such as attachment-focused work, client-centred ways of talking, cognitive behavioural strategies and mindfulness practices. He uses these to look at patterns that keep problems repeating, and to try small experiments that change everyday reactions and choices.
Sessions often look at how past relationships shape present responses. They also address communication, boundaries, control issues and the strain that unresolved trauma can cause. People exploring anger will work on recognising triggers, practising different responses, and repairing the effects of outbursts.
He aims for straightforward, plain conversations that lead to clear steps you can try between sessions. Peter encourages people to test new ways of relating and managing emotion, then reflect on what helps. This practical emphasis is intended to make daily life easier to handle.
How his approaches work in online sessions
Peter commonly draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred work and cognitive behavioural Therapy in online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how earlier relationships influence current reactions and helps people recognise repeating patterns. Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can explore what matters to them. Cognitive behavioural Therapy uses simple experiments and practical exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour.Finding the right mix of approaches is treated as a collaborative process. He will discuss what you want to change, try different ways of working, and adjust the approach based on what helps you reach realistic goals. The aim is to work together on methods that fit your needs and preferences.
