About Peter

Peter Gratrix is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. He aims to respond with sensitivity and respect and tailors conversations to each person’s needs.

He offers straightforward support for motivation and confidence problems. He also helps with parenting concerns, family problems, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and difficulties linked to work or career. Other areas he addresses include addictions, sleeping and eating difficulties, and coping with life changes.

Peter uses a mix of approaches to match what matters to the client. These include Client-Centred Therapy, where the person’s perspective guides the work, and Mindfulness Therapy to build awareness and calm. He also draws on Motivational Interviewing to strengthen commitment to change and Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, practical goals.

He describes his way of working as collaborative. Sessions focus on talking things through, finding small steps that help, and adjusting the plan as progress is made. Peter aims to make each session feel relevant and doable.

Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Peter’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own priorities and feelings. The counsellor listens closely and follows the client’s lead, helping them make sense of their experience and decide what matters most to change.

Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts, body sensations and emotions without getting swept away. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and for building steadier concentration and calm in daily life.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons for change. It can support shifts in habits, motivation for treatment, or practical steps towards recovery.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Peter discusses options with each person and adapts methods to their goals and preferences, working together to set realistic steps and review progress.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use these benefits to help clients keep continuity and make steady progress without major disruption to daily life.
