About Peter

Peter Parknas is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who uses a client-focused approach to help people regain direction in their lives. He draws on seven years of experience to guide people through stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns. Peter speaks English and Swedish and is listed with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

He aims to help people recognise the strengths they already have. Sessions focus on locating practical resources and tuning them so small changes can feel possible.

Background and approach

He writes that people sometimes lose faith in their own tools and need support to find them again. Peter commonly works with depression, trauma and grief, and with intimacy-related and parenting struggles. He also addresses issues such as ADHD, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Additional areas of attention include attachment, communication and trust problems, and multicultural concerns. In sessions he creates an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through. He aims to support and empower people as they take steps towards change.

The work is collaborative and paced to what each person can manage. People can expect straight talk and practical focus alongside time to reflect. Peter combines different therapeutic ideas to match individual needs.

He encourages small, achievable steps and offers help to put those steps into practice.

Approaches in online therapy and what they offer

Peter blends client-centred work with attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques when delivering therapy online. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can find their own answers; it helps with low mood, self-esteem and life direction. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can be useful for intimacy issues, trust problems and abandonment concerns. Cognitive behavioural techniques aim to spot unhelpful thoughts and test them with practical experiments, which can be helpful for anxiety, phobias and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Peter will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and choose methods together. He adapts the mix of approaches as sessions progress, and checks in regularly to make sure the plan still fits the person's goals.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be quicker or use less bandwidth, and messaging suits short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help people fit therapy around work, family or travel and make it easier to keep continuity between sessions.
