About Peter

Peter Bramhill is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years' experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and codependency among other issues. He offers one-to-one sessions that focus on talking through feelings and behaviours and finding practical ways to change patterns that cause distress.

His approach draws on several well-known methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). Sessions are conversational and aim to identify thoughts and reactions that keep someone stuck. He helps people notice patterns such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or putting others first at their own expense.

Peter describes working collaboratively and respectfully. He aims to help people increase self-awareness, name difficult feelings, and try different ways of responding. He frames work around practical steps as well as understanding where a problem began in a person's life story.

His background includes roles using a range of therapeutic models and a compassion-focused perspective. That experience informs how he blends talking therapies to suit individual needs. He asks straightforward questions about feelings, life history, and the future to guide the work.

Sessions use a subscription payment model that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted. Prospective clients are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session to begin.

How sessions work

How his approaches work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, and then choose actions that match personal values. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood and people stuck in avoidance patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. It can help people understand patterns of closeness, fear of abandonment, and codependent behaviour. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience in the room, offering non-directive listening and reflection so the client can find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Peter will discuss different methods and decide together which fits the client's goals and preferences. That collaborative process may lead to trying one method or combining elements from several over time.

Confirm the session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific online methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk-based approaches like ACT, attachment work and client-centred sessions adapt well to remote meetings, and the therapist will help shape the practical arrangements to suit everyday routines.
