About Peter

Peter Gratrix is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience and a registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He focuses on making therapy straightforward and respectful. He aims to listen first and build a plan that suits each person.

Peter works with common problems such as stress, anxiety and low mood. He also helps people facing grief, compassion fatigue, addiction concerns and difficulties with self‑esteem.

Background and approach

Practical issues like sleep, eating, career decisions and life changes are part of his caseload too. His approach places the client at the centre of sessions. That means conversations shape what happens next and clients steer the work.

He also draws on mindfulness to help with present-moment awareness and motivational interviewing to support change when people feel stuck. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused when needed. Peter adapts the pace to suit each person and concentrates on clear, manageable steps.

He aims to help people notice small changes that add up over time. People who contact him often want practical help alongside emotional support. He is used to addressing issues linked to relationships, parenting and fatherhood challenges, veteran and armed forces matters, and specific concerns such as trichotillomania.

Discussions start where the client is and move at a steady, collaborative pace.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Peter's approaches work online

Client‑centred therapy begins with the person and their priorities. Sessions focus on listening carefully and following the client's lead, so the work fits what matters most to them. This approach helps with mood, anxiety and relationship concerns by making the sessions relevant to everyday life.

Mindfulness practice brings simple ways to notice the present moment and reduce reactivity. Short breathing or attention exercises can be used to manage stress, improve sleep patterns and steady strong emotions during difficult times.

Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about change. The therapist asks open questions and reflects what the client says to build motivation and plan small, realistic steps forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Peter will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That means reviewing what helps, adjusting the pace and testing different techniques together until a good fit emerges.

Online sessions offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation without travel, phone sessions work where bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messaging can be useful for shorter check‑ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
