About Peter Spanton
Before qualifying in therapy, Peter spent many years in the restaurant industry and served as creative director of his own drinks company.

Peter values practical, collaborative work and aims to help clients identify patterns, develop coping strategies, and consider deeper personal themes when appropriate. He acknowledges the courage it takes to begin therapy and offers steady, respectful support for people ready to make changes and explore their goals.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy with Practical Support
Peter integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and psychodynamic approaches to tailor support to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and is useful for managing anxiety, low mood, and addictive patterns by developing practical coping strategies and changing unhelpful thinking.Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences, unconscious patterns, and internal conflicts influence current feelings and relationships. This approach can help people understand deeper sources of distress, patterns in relationships, and recurring emotional difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Peter works collaboratively with clients to decide what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. He and the client review progress and adapt methods over time so work remains relevant and effective.
Online therapy offers flexible access to support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, connect across distances, and maintain continuity of care for both local and international clients while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
