Peter Gratrix is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. He holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP, and focuses on practical help for common struggles. He aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where people can talk about what matters to them.

He helps people dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. He also supports those coping with grief, low self-esteem, motivation issues and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

Addictions, bipolar concerns and ADHD are included among his areas of focus. Peter uses straightforward, person-focused methods rather than jargon. He tailors conversations and plans to each person’s situation.

Sessions are aimed at clear steps and skills someone can use between meetings. He works with relationship and intimacy concerns, family problems and fatherhood issues, plus veteran and armed forces matters. He also offers support for eating and sleeping problems, trichotillomania and career-related stress.

Peter practices approaches such as client-centred therapy, mindfulness and solution-focused work to help people notice what matters and try small changes. Motivational interviewing is used to help people find and keep motivation when change feels hard. He welcomes international clients and runs sessions in English.

How Peter’s approaches work online

Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of each session. The therapist listens without judgement and follows what matters most to the client, helping to clarify goals and priorities. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce rumination and stress; it can help with anxiety, sleeping problems and managing strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Peter will discuss options with each person and together they will choose methods that fit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made or new issues emerge.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Text and chat formats suit brief check-ins, note-taking styles or people who find writing easier than speaking, and they make therapy more flexible around work and family commitments.
