Peter Parknas , BACP

Peter Parknas is a licensed psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom who helps people reconnect with their inner resources and move toward a more satisfying life. He works from the belief that most people already possess the strengths they need, but that stress, relationships, trauma or life transitions can interrupt the use of those skills. Peter partners with clients to identify and reactivate those latent resources so they can begin to build a life that feels meaningful and rewarding.

His practice focuses on areas such as stress and anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and its aftereffects, grief, ADHD and intimacy-related concerns. He also addresses a wide range of additional issues including abandonment and attachment challenges, communication and control problems, parenting and family-of-origin conflicts, infidelity and issues related to narcissism and domestic violence.

Peter aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. He emphasizes compassion and collaboration, supporting clients as they take the often-difficult first steps toward change. Peter holds BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a major professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Relationship and Trauma Work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds and patterns influence current relationships and emotional responses. It helps clients understand attachment wounds, repair relational patterns, and build more secure connections with partners, family members and themselves.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-directive relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and unconditional positive regard. This approach supports clients who want to explore identity, self-esteem, life purpose and personal growth at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and structured, often used to address anxiety, depression, stress and problem-solving in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Peter works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to assess needs, goals and preferences, and to tailor techniques that feel like the best fit for each person.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage geographical distance, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
