Peter Saunders, NCPS

Peter Saunders is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 20 years of experience. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns and issues linked to LGBT identity. He also supports those facing trauma, grief, intimacy concerns, sleeping problems, ADHD and parenting strain.

He trained in integrative counselling and holds an NCPS credential. Peter believes each person knows their own story best and brings a respectful, listening approach to sessions. He aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what matters most to them.

In sessions he focuses on practical conversation and on noticing patterns that get in the way. He mixes client-centred listening with ideas drawn from psychodynamic and existential thinking. He also uses brief solution-focused techniques when people want clear, short-term goals.

Peter describes therapy as a collaborative process. He helps people identify small steps they can try between meetings and checks in on what is working. He avoids jargon and keeps language straightforward and direct.

Over two decades he has supported people with a wide range of concerns including abandonment, attachment struggles, body image, chronic illness, codependency, communication problems, and issues around kink and alternative sexual cultures. He frames these topics with sensitivity and practical problem-solving.

People who choose to work with him complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How his approaches work online and what to expect

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person's priorities. It helps when someone needs space to make sense of emotions and to build confidence in their own decisions.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns from the past that show up now. It can be useful for people who want to understand repeating relationship problems, attachment issues or old wounds that influence current feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Peter will discuss options with each person and decide together what fits needs, goals and preferences. This is a joint process and can change over time as priorities shift.

If you prefer online sessions, please confirm the exact formats before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life, such as fitting sessions around work or family commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when people need a brief practical session rather than a long meeting. Registered or accredited professionals often tailor session length and focus to match what someone needs on a given week.
