About Peter

Peter Bramhill is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. He supports people coping with trauma, addiction, grief, ADHD and self-esteem issues. He also works with parenting strain, career changes, compassion fatigue and a wide range of life challenges related to health, communication and intimacy.

He takes a straightforward, person-focused approach. Sessions give space to talk and be heard without judgment. He aims to help people notice patterns in thoughts and behaviour and build steps toward change.

Peter draws on several approaches to tailor sessions to each person. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside attachment-informed and emotionally focused ways of working. These help with managing strong feelings, improving relationships and shifting habits that cause distress.

His background includes eight years in therapeutic roles and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That experience has included work with people facing bereavement, long-term health problems, neurodiversity and complex emotional reactions.

In sessions he aims to be genuine, accepting and practical. Conversations focus on what matters now and on small, doable steps. People can expect respectful listening, occasional direct feedback and collaborative planning to test out new ways of coping.

To begin, readers should use the site process to match and schedule a first appointment according to the therapist's stated availability.

How a few approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them, then choosing actions that match your values. It can help when anxiety, low mood or avoidance get in the way of everyday life.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and tests new ways of responding. It is useful for phobias, panic, low mood and unhelpful habits that maintain distress.

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships affect how people connect now. It can help with intimacy-related issues, trust and relational patterns that repeat over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest ways of working to try together. That choice is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to join from a quieter moment in the day or to keep appointments during work breaks. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered.
