Peter Parknas

Peter Parknas is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people regain confidence and direction. He believes people already have the tools they need to make change. His role is to work alongside clients to find and reactivate those strengths.

Peter commonly helps with stress and anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, and the effects of trauma and abuse. He also supports people dealing with depression, grief, parenting strain, and concerns linked to ADHD or self-esteem. Narcissism and attachment issues are among his additional focus areas.

In sessions he aims to create an open and non-judgemental space for honest conversation. He uses approaches that encourage people to talk through feelings, notice patterns, and try small, practical changes. The work is conversational rather than overly technical.

With seven years of experience, Peter draws on therapies such as attachment-based work, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques, existential ideas, and mindfulness practices. He adapts these to what each person needs and prefers.

People who come to him often want clearer boundaries, better communication, or ways to manage worry and low mood. He supports them to identify what matters, experiment with new ways of relating, and build more reliable daily routines that feel manageable.

How core approaches guide online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape the way people connect now. It helps clarify patterns in trust, closeness and boundaries and is useful for relationship and intimacy concerns. Client-centred therapy centres the person's own experience and pace; the counsellor listens deeply and follows what the client brings, which often helps with stress, low mood and life changes. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers concrete steps to test new ways of coping, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily routine.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Peter will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit the client's goals, background and preferences. Together they will try different ways of working and adjust as needed so the sessions feel useful and relevant.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as these are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins or longer sessions when needed. It can also mean using audio-only sessions when bandwidth is limited or saving camera use for days when a person prefers it. Ask about practical arrangements when you schedule so sessions match everyday life.
