About Peter Thompson
Peter Thompson earned a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling in 2011 and brings a combination of volunteer and professional experience to his practice. He holds the NCPS credential, a professional counselling qualification, and has 14 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of difficulties.
He works with clients on issues including stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting and career challenges, and many other life difficulties. His approach is eclectic, drawing on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy while keeping the client at the heart of the work.
Person-centered values inform his practice - choice, responsibility and autonomy are central themes he aims to help clients reclaim in their lives. He describes his therapeutic stance as equal and collaborative, creating an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored without judgement. He has been described as "down to earth" and "real" and brings a well-timed sense of humour when appropriate.
Peter asks clients to be aware of emergency contact options should urgent help be needed. UK & Republic of Ireland emergency numbers include: Emergency: 112 or 999, Non-emergency: 111, Option 2, 24/7 Helpline: 116 123 (UK and ROI). Additional resources include Shout - text "DESERVE" to 85258, Samaritans.org: https://www.samaritans.org/how-we-can-help-you/contact-us, and YourLifeCounts.org: https://yourlifecounts.org/find-help/. He notes that this forum does not provide emergency services and urges people to use the appropriate emergency contacts if immediate help is required.
He aims to respond to messages a couple of times each day so clients are not left waiting unnecessarily. Outside of his therapeutic work, Peter is also a writer and Spoken Word poetry performer.

Could Remote Therapy Work For You?
Many people wonder whether remote therapy can make a meaningful difference in their lives. For a range of common concerns - stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges and navigating life changes - online therapy is widely used as an accessible alternative to in-person sessions and can support the same kinds of therapeutic work.
One of the main benefits is flexibility - people can connect in the way that fits their schedule and comfort level, whether by video call, phone session, live chat or in-app messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to maintain consistency and to fit therapy into busy, geographically dispersed or changing lives.
Licensed professionals provide online therapy and clients can seek a different therapist at any time if they feel a different fit would be better. For many, working with a therapist remotely offers a practical and effective way to engage in therapy while balancing day-to-day commitments.
