Peter Saunders, NCPS

Peter Saunders is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people working through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and LGBT-related issues. He also supports people facing grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD and the everyday impacts of chronic illness and pain. Peter approaches each person as the expert in their own life and focuses on building on existing strengths to address what feels difficult.

He trained in integrative counselling and holds the NCPS credential. Peter has worked in therapy for 20 years, and his experience includes supporting people with self-esteem, motivation, and communication problems. He aims to make the first steps into therapy easier by offering steady, respectful support and practical ways to move forward.

In sessions he listens carefully and follows the concerns the person brings. He draws on client-centred ideas to keep the person’s priorities central. He also uses psychodynamic and existential perspectives to understand patterns and life meaning, and solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable steps.

Peter’s style is plain and conversational. He will help identify small changes that can reduce stress and improve day-to-day functioning. He encourages people to notice strengths they may have overlooked and to try simple strategies between sessions.

How Peter’s approaches translate to online work

Peter draws on client-centred, psychodynamic and solution-focused approaches to shape online conversations. Client-centred work means sessions focus on what the person brings right now and on their own priorities; it helps when someone needs empathy and steady listening. Psychodynamic ideas look at recurring patterns and past relationships to make sense of present difficulties, which can be useful for understanding long-standing issues. Solution-focused techniques concentrate on small, practical steps and goals that can produce quick, manageable change between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Peter will work collaboratively to figure out which combination feels most helpful for the person’s goals and preferences. That might change over time as priorities shift, and decisions about methods are made together rather than imposed.

Session formats are not specified in his biography, so readers should confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people try different ways of talking - audio-only for lower bandwidth or phone-style check-ins when a quick conversation fits better. These practical benefits can help therapy fit into everyday life while the therapist and client focus on the issues that matter most.
