Peter Coffey, BACP

Peter Coffey is a non-binary therapist based in New Hampshire who supports people who feel stuck on a problem, helping them move beyond it or find a way to come to terms with it. They work with clients from the LGBTQ+ community, people with autism and ADHD, and those who are questioning whether they belong in those groups, and allies are welcome.

Their practice emphasizes careful listening, helping clients identify and name their feelings, and introducing simple models that can make personal patterns easier to understand. Peter encourages open feedback and invites clients to say when something they have said or offered has missed the mark. This collaborative stance aims to put the client in the lead of their own process.

Peter does not provide diagnoses or give direct advice, and they avoid asking questions solely to satisfy curiosity or to push clients toward actions. Instead, they offer a supportive, client-centered environment that prioritizes understanding and personal insight.

Peter holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is a professional organization for counsellors and psychotherapists. For anyone who has had difficult experiences with therapy in the past, Peter aims to be worthy of that trust and welcomes the courage it takes to seek help.

Client-Centered Care Online with Flexible Session Options

Peter practices client-centered therapy, an approach that places the client's experience at the center of the work. In this model the therapist focuses on listening carefully, reflecting feelings back, and supporting the person to explore their own values and solutions - an approach that can be helpful for concerns like anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, or questions about identity.

Because Peter emphasizes collaboration, finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. They work together with each client to identify goals, try different ways of working, and adjust the approach based on what the client needs and prefers. This shared decision-making helps ensure the work fits the individual rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all method.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes therapy more accessible for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or those who prefer remote contact. These options allow Peter and other registered professionals to meet clients where they are and to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible.
