About Peter
Peter Gratrix is a counsellor with seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He holds BACP accreditation and focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and low self-esteem. He speaks English and works with clients who identify as LGBT among other concerns.
He aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and goals. He helps clients talk through motivation, confidence and coping with life changes in straightforward language.
Background and approach
In sessions he uses practical, collaborative methods. He listens first and shapes a plan with the client rather than imposing a fixed formula. That can include short-term goal-setting, mindfulness exercises, or motivational techniques to restore momentum.
Peter also has experience with more specialised challenges such as addiction, bipolar symptoms, trauma and trichotillomania. He supports people managing career stress, parenting and fatherhood issues, and concerns that arise from veteran and armed forces backgrounds. People who prefer an approachable, down-to-earth counsellor often find his style useful.
He encourages small, achievable steps and keeps sessions focused on what the person wants to change. To begin, users follow the site Start Therapy flow and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Approaches used and how online therapy can help
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. The counsellor reflects what matters to the person and helps them find their own way forward, which suits people wanting a supportive, non-directive space.Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase focus. It can help with anxiety, stress and sleeping problems by teaching short exercises that can be used between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together with the client which methods fit their needs and goals. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as progress is made.
Practical benefits of online work include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and fewer travel demands. Online work can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins or to continue with therapy while travelling. The biography does not detail which session formats are used here, so please confirm the available session types before booking.
