About Peter

Peter Bramhill, BACP, offers counselling for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. He helps people who are coping with trauma, bereavement, addiction and low self-esteem. Peter also works with issues like ADHD, caring responsibilities and ageing and geriatric issues. He provides a calm space to talk and to look at feelings and behaviour together.

Peter aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental environment where people feel heard. Sessions focus on spotting patterns in thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. He uses practical conversation and reflective listening to help people make changes they want. Work can include looking at past experiences and building skills to manage strong emotions.

His background combines several approaches to suit different needs. Peter draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them. He uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify thinking patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. Attachment-based ideas can help when relationships and past losses affect current life.

With eight years in therapeutic roles, Peter brings experience working with a wide range of difficulties and life stages. He describes his style as compassionate and person-centred, aiming to support people to discover practical steps forward. He is based in the United Kingdom and offers therapy in English.

To begin, people are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Sessions are then scheduled according to the therapist's availability and the service's subscription model.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions by shifting focus from fighting feelings to living with them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns formed in earlier life and can help when past losses or connection issues affect current relationships.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can be revisited as therapy unfolds and needs change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by cutting travel time and allowing appointments during work breaks or quieter moments at home. They can also suit people who prefer shorter check-ins or who find it easier to talk without being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools and exercises used in ACT and CBT for remote work to support progress over time.
