Peter Coffey
A listening practice for people feeling stuck
About Peter
Peter Coffey is a non-binary counsellor with six years' experience based in New Hampshire. They work with people who identify with the LGBT community and with those navigating autism or ADHD. Peter focuses on helping people who feel stuck - whether that is with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, anger, or stress.
Peter listens first. Sessions begin with simple questions and open space to talk. They help clients name feelings and suggest ways of understanding patterns that get in the way.
Background and approach
They do not give medical diagnoses or tell people what to do. People who have had difficult experiences in therapy before are invited to point out when something does not fit. Peter encourages direct feedback and adjusts the way they work to match each person's needs.
Allies and people who are questioning their identity are also welcome. Peter often uses client-centred therapy, which puts the person's experience at the heart of the session. Sessions aim to help people either move past a problem or come to terms with it, depending on what feels right for them.
Practical matters are handled simply. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the therapist's availability. Peter offers several formats so people can choose what suits their life.

Sessions & fees
Client-centred care delivered online
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own experience. The therapist listens without judgment, reflects what they hear and helps a person find their own answers. This approach is useful for issues like anxiety, depression, identity questions and relationship concerns because it centres the client's sense of what matters.In practice Peter offers sessions that help people name feelings and see patterns that keep them feeling stuck. He suggests models to support understanding rather than giving direct advice or diagnosing. The process is collaborative and he invites feedback if something does not fit, so the approach can be adjusted to each person's goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller exchange is helpful. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing, need flexible timing, or want brief check-ins between longer sessions. These choices make therapy more accessible and easier to fit around work, caring responsibilities and day-to-day life.
