Peter Parknas, BACP

Peter Parknas is a licensed psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom who helps people reconnect with the strengths they already possess. He approaches therapy with the belief that most individuals carry internal tools that can be rediscovered and put to use, even when life circumstances have knocked confidence or focus off course. He works collaboratively to locate, tune and activate those latent resources so clients can move toward a life they find meaningful and satisfying.

His clinical interests include stress and anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, depression and the effects of unprocessed trauma. He also supports people navigating ADHD, grief, intimacy-related concerns, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem struggles and broader life changes. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, commitment and communication difficulties, family of origin concerns, infidelity, guilt and shame, and multicultural issues.

In session he aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored and understood. He draws on approaches such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Existential Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to tailor work to each person. He holds BACP - membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and provides therapy in English and Swedish. He emphasizes support and empowerment as people take steps toward greater wellbeing.
