About Peter
Peter Bramhill is a BACP counsellor with eight years' experience based in the United Kingdom. He works with stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and related issues. Peter helps people who feel overwhelmed by strong emotions or stuck by repeated patterns.
He uses straightforward talking therapy to look at feelings and behaviour. Sessions are one-to-one and focus on understanding what keeps problems going. Peter asks practical questions about life now and the past to spot patterns and options for change.
His approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused ideas. He also uses attachment-based and client-centred ways of working to look at relationships and how they affect mood. These tools are used to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, try small changes and build on what goes well.
Peter invites a calm, honest conversation about worries such as panic, phobias, addiction, low mood, grief, anger and concentration or sleep problems. He also works with concerns linked to neurodiversity and attachment difficulties. Sessions aim to increase awareness, reduce unhelpful coping, and create clearer options for moving forward.
People beginning work with him complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session. Fees vary with location and the service uses a cancellable subscription model. Sessions are provided in English and international clients are not currently accepted.
How his approaches translate to online work
Peter uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose small, values-guided actions. ACT can be useful for social anxiety and for learning to sit with uncomfortable feelings without letting them dictate behaviour. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and test changes through practical experiments and behavioural steps. CBT often helps with panic, phobia and avoidance by breaking problems into manageable parts.Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. Peter will discuss your goals and preferences and try different techniques to see what fits. He aims to work with clients to build clearer goals and small changes they can practise between sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time. It also makes it practical to carry out certain exercises together, such as behavioural experiments or guided exposure homework that link directly to everyday situations.
