Peter Bramhill, BACP

Peter Bramhill is a counsellor with eight years' experience who helps people with stress, anxiety, depression and intimacy-related issues. He works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, addictions, self-esteem, grief, sleeping and eating difficulties, and relationship struggles. Peter also supports people facing ADHD, compassion fatigue, career change and a broad range of other life challenges.

In sessions he offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through feelings and behaviour. He uses a compassionate, person-centred attitude and aims to listen closely so people feel heard. The work is collaborative and paced to each person's needs, with practical steps discussed alongside emotional reflection.

Peter draws on several approaches to shape sessions, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). He adapts these methods to focus on what the client wants to change and the goals they set together.

Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, understanding where feelings come from, and developing strategies for daily life. Practical exercises and talking work are combined so people can try new ways of responding to stress and relationships. The aim is to build confidence and clearer choices in how to live and relate to others.

Peter practises in the United Kingdom and works in English. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP, and uses that professional framework in his practice.

How these approaches guide online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values when anxiety or stress gets in the way. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and testing them with practical experiments and small changes to daily routines. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EFT, centres on understanding emotional responses and improving how people communicate their needs and feelings in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Peter will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods fit their goals and style. This collaborative planning helps shape sessions so they feel useful and manageable.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to continue weekly work during life changes or while juggling work and family commitments.
