About Peter
Peter Bramhill is a BACP-registered counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and trauma.

Peter offers practical conversations that aim to reduce overwhelm and make day-to-day life easier.
He works in a straightforward, person-focused way. Sessions are conversational and based on what the client wants to change. He listens without judgement and uses a mix of techniques to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses.
Background and approach
Peter has eight years of experience in therapeutic roles in the United Kingdom. His background draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based work, client-centred practice, cognitive behavioural methods and emotionally focused ideas. These inform how he frames goals and suggests practical steps.
In the room he helps people identify thoughts, feelings and behaviours that keep problems going. He combines exploration of past experience with exercises that target current habits and choices. The work often includes short practical tasks to try between sessions so progress can be measured.
Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. People can expect a respectful, down-to-earth style that aims to build clarity and self-awareness. Peter is based in the United Kingdom and works in English.

Sessions & fees
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move life in a meaningful direction, useful for anxiety, depression and coping with change.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and patterns in current relationships. It can help with intimacy issues, grief and communication problems by making those patterns easier to see and change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then use one or more approaches collaboratively. That means sessions can shift if a different method seems a better fit as progress unfolds.
Online therapy here is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions work well when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options aim to make therapy more flexible around work, childcare and travel commitments.
