About Peter
Peter Bramhill is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and addiction. He also supports those facing relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Peter works with people who identify as LGBT and with a wide range of other life challenges such as ADHD, eating or sleeping problems, and career stress.
He offers a calm, non-judgemental space for one-to-one work. Sessions aim to help people talk through feelings and behaviours that feel overwhelming.
Background and approach
The goal is to build understanding and small, practical changes that fit daily life. Peter uses several approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work and Client-Centred methods. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when these suit a person’s needs.
These methods are used to help with unpicking patterns, managing difficult emotions and trying out new ways of coping. He has eight years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is shown as BACP in his credentials.
Sessions begin by exploring what matters most to the person and identifying practical next steps. People are encouraged to set small goals and to notice what changes in day-to-day life. The emphasis is on working together at a pace that feels manageable.

Therapeutic approaches and online working
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without them having to dictate action. It supports choosing small, value-led steps even when emotions feel heavy. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape patterns in close connections and can help with trust, intimacy and communication. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the work, offering empathic listening and a non-judgemental space to make sense of what is happening.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the person to decide which methods make the most sense for their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs shift and progress is made.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and making it easier to schedule short check-ins around work or family commitments. It can also allow sessions when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Many registered or accredited professionals offer online appointments as a flexible way to continue regular support.
