Peter Turner, BACP

Peter Turner is a Person-Centred and Cognitive Behavioural Therapist who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. He has considerable experience helping clients work through past trauma and abuse, manage life transitions, and improve concentration, memory and focus related to ADHD.

He approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the author of their own story and already holds many strengths that can be used to meet current challenges. Seeking change is a courageous step, and he aims to offer practical support and encouragement so clients can build a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Peter is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and draws on nearly 11 years of professional practice in the United Kingdom. He combines a person-centred stance with evidence-based techniques from cognitive behavioural work and mindfulness to tailor sessions to each client’s goals and pace.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Peter Turner combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural and mindfulness methods to tailor therapy to each person’s needs. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathic space where clients lead the conversation and explore what matters most to them; this approach can be especially helpful for issues of self-esteem, life purpose and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, making it useful for anxiety, depression and problems with focus or impulsivity. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of experience, which can reduce rumination, ease stress and support better sleep and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Peter will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences and pace. Therapy can evolve over time as needs change.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home or work, maintain continuity when life is busy, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each client, while still working with registered professionals and experienced therapists.
