Peter Bramhill is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and the fallout from trauma and abuse. He supports people with self-esteem issues, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep and eating problems, and the pressures of parenting and career change. He works in a straightforward, calm way.

Sessions are conversational and focused on practical steps you can try between meetings. He aims to create a non-judgemental space where someone can talk honestly about what is hard right now.

Background and approach

Peter uses several well-known approaches to match the work to each person. These include cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts, attachment-focused ideas to look at patterns in relationships, and acceptance and commitment methods to help live with difficult feelings. He also draws on emotionally-focused and client-centred ways of working to keep the relationship warm and collaborative.

Over eight years in therapeutic roles have given him experience with a wide range of issues, from ADHD and autism to chronic illness and caregiver stress. He holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP in his credentials. Sessions can take different forms to suit busy lives, and Peter explains options clearly so people can choose what fits them.

He aims to help people build small, steady changes that add up to better day-to-day coping and clearer choices about the future.

Approaches for online counselling and practical support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns in thoughts and behaviours and trying experiments to shift unhelpful cycles, which can reduce anxiety, improve sleep and change habits that feed low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and helps people try new ways of relating when old patterns cause distress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as therapy continues.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation when that helps the work. Phone can be used when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer written exchanges or need to fit support around busy days. These options make it easier to get regular help without travelling to appointments.
