About Peter
Peter Saunders is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has worked in the UK for 20 years. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and LGBT issues, low self-esteem, depression, parenting strain, grief and anger. He also supports people facing trauma, sleeping difficulties, ADHD and the everyday impacts of life change.
He uses straightforward, person-focused conversations. He treats the client as the expert on their own life and builds on existing strengths. Sessions are practical and aimed at clarifying what matters and what to try next. Peter emphasises realistic steps rather than grand promises.
His background includes a diploma completed in 2002 and a degree in integrative counselling finished in 2009. Over two decades he has worked with a range of concerns from abandonment and attachment questions to communication and control issues. That breadth informs how he listens and what he notices in sessions.
Peter draws on Client-Centred, Existential, Psychodynamic and Solution-Focused approaches. He will help someone name patterns, look at how past experiences influence now, and try manageable ways to change day-to-day coping. The work can move between talking about feelings and planning small experiments to test different responses.
People come to him when anger shows up as bursts, simmering resentment, or difficulty managing frustration at work or home. He aims for clearer understanding and practical changes people can use between sessions.
How his approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping the client identify their own priorities. It is useful when someone wants help naming feelings and using their strengths to try new responses. Existential Therapy looks at meaning and choices in everyday life and can help when anger links to values, identity or big life questions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Peter will discuss what you want to change and try methods that fit your goals and preferences. That collaborative decision guides whether sessions look more reflective, exploratory or action-oriented.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or avoid travel time. They also give flexibility for people who prefer talking without being in the same room as their counsellor. Registered or accredited professionals including therapists often arrange practical details at first contact to suit each person's circumstances.
