About Peter Thompson
Peter Thompson earned a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling in 2011 and has built a 14-year track record of volunteer and professional work supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief and relationship difficulties as well as challenges with motivation, self-esteem and confidence. He holds NCPS, a credential that indicates professional training in counselling and psychotherapy.
Working in an eclectic manner, Peter places a person-centred approach at the core of his practice so that the client remains central to every step of the work. He seeks to create an open, non-judgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared honestly and where choice, responsibility and autonomy are emphasised as guiding principles. His style is often described as down to earth and real, and he brings a considered sense of humour where it feels appropriate to the therapeutic process.
Peter encourages clients to take ownership of change and aims to tailor methods to each individual rather than following a single rigid model. He aims to respond to messages a couple of times each day to keep communication moving and reduce unnecessary waiting. In addition to his clinical work, Peter is a writer and a spoken word performer, bringing creativity and a strong sense of voice to his work with people.

Person-centred and Practical Approaches for Online Support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathic environment where the client directs the pace and focus of sessions and the therapist offers support that helps people explore their feelings and priorities; this approach is often helpful for relationship concerns, low self-esteem and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and helps people develop practical strategies to manage anxiety, stress, sleeping problems and unhelpful thinking patterns.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying strengths and small, achievable steps toward change, which can be particularly useful for goal-oriented work such as career decisions, motivation and short-term coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and the therapist will work collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That process often blends elements from different approaches to suit an individual's situation.
Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or those who live far from services. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, schedule appointments around daily life and access licensed professionals from a range of locations.
