Peter Saunders , NCPS

Peter Saunders is a UK-qualified therapist who brings formal training and a client-focused outlook to his work. He completed his first diploma in 2002 and went on to earn a degree in integrative counselling in 2009, and he holds the NCPS credential, which indicates professional training in counselling and psychotherapy.

He has worked with people facing stress and anxiety, LGBTQ+ related concerns, relationship difficulties, challenges with motivation, and issues around self-esteem and confidence. His approach centers on seeing each person as the expert on their own life, drawing on their existing strengths to address the problems that feel most pressing. He frames the decision to seek help as a courageous step and positions himself as a supportive partner in that process.

In sessions he aims to help clients clarify their goals, explore what has been holding them back, and build practical ways forward. His style emphasizes respect for each individual story and a collaborative stance designed to foster greater wellbeing and clearer direction.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Peter Saunders draws on several well-established approaches to tailor work to each person's needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist reflects and supports; this approach can be helpful for improving self-esteem, building confidence, and navigating relationship concerns. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that arise from past experiences and unconscious dynamics, helping people explore why certain reactions repeat and how those patterns affect current relationships and emotional life. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical steps and small, achievable changes to move toward specific goals, which can be useful for addressing stress, motivation, and short-term coping needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Peter works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they want to address, adjusting the approach as progress unfolds. He treats the process as a partnership between therapist and client.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when sessions happen. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions suit those who prefer voice-only contact, and live chat or text-based messaging can be more immediate and convenient for day-to-day support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while maintaining continuity of care.
