About Peter
Peter Parknas is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma and life changes. Peter also supports people exploring life purpose and coping with issues such as ADHD, grief and intimacy-related worries.
He approaches work by helping people notice and use the resources they already have. Sessions aim to locate practical skills and patterns that can be adjusted. The emphasis is on clear steps that a person can try between meetings and thoughts that can be talked through in session.
Peter uses several ways of working to match what a person needs. Client-centred conversations help people speak about what matters most. Attachment-based thinking looks at how past relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive-behavioural ideas can be used to identify upsetting thoughts and try small experiments to change them.
People come to him for a wide range of concerns, including commitment and communication problems, family of origin issues, control struggles and feelings of shame or guilt. He also works with those dealing with infidelity, abandonment, narcissistic patterns and midlife questions about direction and purpose.
Sessions are conducted in English and Swedish and Peter accepts clients internationally. He asks new people to complete a short matching questionnaire before booking so the first meeting can focus on priorities and practical next steps.
How attachment, client-centred and CBT ideas work online
Peter commonly draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred practice and cognitive-behavioural techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps identify repeated responses in relationships. Client-centred practice focuses on listening and organising what matters most to the client so they can speak openly and prioritise issues. Cognitive-behavioural techniques help name unhelpful thoughts, test them with small experiments and try practical changes to symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will review what helps and adjust the methods used. This is a collaborative process where goals, preferences and life circumstances shape the direction of sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work and daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer audio-only conversations if they want less visual focus, while others choose video for face-to-face interaction; confirm which formats are offered when arranging your first appointment.
