Peter Bramhill , BACP

Peter Bramhill is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. He supports individuals with self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, grief, and difficulties linked to ADHD or neurodiversity. He also assists with practical life challenges such as career stress, sleeping and eating problems, and coping with major life changes.

Peter uses straightforward, person-focused conversations to make sense of feelings and behaviour. Sessions aim to be calm and respectful. He listens, asks clear questions about what matters to the client, and helps people spot patterns that keep them stuck.

His practice draws on approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based work, cognitive behavioural methods and emotionally focused ideas. These are used alongside a client-centred stance that keeps the person’s own goals central. The focus is on small, practical steps you can try between sessions as well as understanding where difficult feelings come from.

Peter has eight years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He works from the United Kingdom and holds sessions in English.

Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, which can suit different schedules and needs. To begin, the simple next step is to click the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on what matters to them, using small committed actions to move forward. It suits problems like anxiety, depression and getting stuck in avoidant patterns.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. That work can help with intimacy issues, trust, abandonment concerns and long-standing relational patterns.

Finding the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferenced ways of working, then suggest methods to try. Plans can be adjusted as sessions progress so the work stays relevant to the client’s needs.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video lets people read body language and hold a deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter reflections or times when writing feels easier. These options help fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional understanding.
