How Peter’s approaches work online
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own priorities and values. It involves open listening and reflecting so the person can explore what matters and decide next steps. This approach helps when someone wants to make sense of feelings or regain confidence.Mindfulness therapy teaches straightforward attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm. It helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being swept away, which can ease anxiety and improve sleep and focus.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Peter will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try. The choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions work well for lower bandwidth or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, reflective writing or when scheduling a regular check-in that fits around work or family time.
