Peter Arthur
Dip.Couns, Reg. MBACP
Thank you for visiting my profile, my name is Peter and I am a Person Centred Counsellor.
I understand how difficult it can be to know where to start and to make the right move into seeking help and support. Life is not always straightforward, feeling overwhelming and confusing at times. It may be yourself, or perhaps a loved one who is struggling with a life event, or difficult emotional issue.

About me and my practice
Finding the right counsellor is important in order to feel comfortable enough to share, whilst knowing you will be accepted and not judged.
The importance of being heard and understood is very powerful and forms a large part of the therapy. My strength is in the ability to build a deep and meaningful therapeutic relationship with another individual.
I will work with you at your pace on the issues that you want to raise and are struggling to make sense of. You decide how many sessions you would like, either weekly or fortnightly.
In your sessions we might talk about, depression, anxiety, anger issues, relationships, confidence, Work related issues, Bereavement or anything else that is important to you.
I offer a safe and confidential online space to explore understanding, self-acceptance, what is happening for you and any changes you may wish to make.
Experience
I was a Samaritan for five years, and during this time began my counselling studies. In August 2014 I completed my Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. I have in excess of eight years working for a local mental health charity, where I started as a Counselling Volunteer. I then became a fully qualified Counsellor, before becoming the Lead Counsellor. I have recently formed my own Private Practice where I have full autonomy to support my clients using my knowledge and experience.
