About Peter
Peter Bramhill is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. He also supports those dealing with self-esteem, addictions, grief and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. He works in English and is based in the United Kingdom.
Sessions start with listening so the immediate worry can be named. Peter uses a warm, accepting style so people can speak openly about what they are feeling. He aims to help clients notice patterns in thoughts and behaviour and try small, practical changes.
Background and approach
He draws on a mix of approaches such as Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. These methods are used to help people understand emotions, learn new coping choices and change unhelpful thinking habits. He also uses attachment-based and client-centred ideas when exploring relationships and early life patterns.
Peter has eight years of experience working in therapeutic roles and holds BACP registration. That background informs a compassionate way of working that focuses on the person rather than labels. Sessions are conversational and aim to build practical skills as well as emotional insight.
People often come with specific problems such as sleep or eating troubles, parenting stress, anger or career decisions. Peter will work with each person to set clear goals and create steps to reach them. The process is collaborative and paced to suit each client.

Online support
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name strong emotions and the patterns they create in relationships. Online sessions can let someone bring those feelings into the conversation and practise new emotional responses with the counsellor's support.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and small actions that matter to the person. In remote work this often means setting short experiments between sessions and reviewing what worked for day-to-day life challenges.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how someone connects now. Through discussion and reflection, the therapist and client can identify ways to feel safer and more connected in present relationships.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree a plan based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging can support short, ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
