About Peter

Peter Bramhill works on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction and relationship and intimacy issues. He uses person-centred and integrative ways of working to help people talk through feelings and behaviour, and to build clearer ways of coping. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has eight years' experience.

He offers one-to-one counselling in which the person is listened to and treated without judgment. Sessions focus on understanding patterns of thinking and acting, and on practical steps that can reduce distress. He aims to help clients notice unhelpful habits and try different responses in everyday life.

His practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural approaches and emotionally-focused ideas alongside attachment-based and client-centred work. That combination is used to look at current problems and the life story that shapes them. The emphasis is on clearer self-awareness and practical coping skills.

Topics commonly discussed include grief, parenting strain, work stress, compulsive behaviours, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD and issues linked to past abuse. He also supports people facing career changes, caregiving stress, chronic health problems and concerns about ageing.

Sessions are described as respectful and non-judgemental, with a focus on talking things through and developing immediate strategies. Peter works from the United Kingdom and offers counselling in English.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and on choosing actions that reflect personal values; it can help with anxiety, depression and problems that keep repeating. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of relating, which can be useful for intimacy and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss what seems most useful and agree a plan with the client based on their goals and what feels workable. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also means people can access approaches such as CBT or ACT from their usual surroundings while working on practical skills and coping strategies.
