About Peter

Peter Turner helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. He works with those facing life changes, sleep or eating difficulties, and people coping with grief or past trauma. He also supports people with concentration and focus concerns linked to ADHD, and those managing addictions and compulsive behaviours.

Peter uses a straightforward approach in sessions. He listens without judgement and encourages people to find their own solutions. He draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep the conversation focused on the person’s experience and what matters to them most.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which involves looking at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and trying practical ways to change patterns that cause distress. Mindfulness techniques are offered too, to help people notice thoughts and sensations with less reactivity.

Peter has worked in counselling and therapy roles for 11 years across the United Kingdom. He holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP. He aims to create a calm, steady space where people can talk things through and try new ways of coping.

Sessions are paced to suit each person. He encourages small, achievable steps and checks progress regularly. People who want straightforward conversation, practical tools and personal reflection often find this style helpful.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and aims to create a listening space where the client leads the conversation. Online sessions can use this same style, with the counsellor responding to what matters most and helping the person make sense of their feelings and choices.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, works by identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and trying practical experiments to change them. In remote work this often includes homework exercises, behaviour experiments and short skills practice between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts, breath and body sensations with less reactivity. These practices can be guided during sessions and practiced independently in daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to use. Choices are reviewed over time so the plan fits what the client needs and how they prefer to work.

The profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow flexible scheduling, while still keeping the focus on progress and practical skills.
