Peter Parknas , BACP

Peter Parknas is a licensed psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom who believes people already possess many of the resources they need to build a life they value. He notes that it is common to become sidetracked or lose confidence in those inner tools, and his role is to help identify, fine-tune, and reactivate them so clients can move toward greater wellbeing.

Peter focuses on areas such as stress and anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, depression, and the lasting effects of unprocessed trauma. He brings attention to how past wounds can shape present patterns and works with clients to explore those dynamics in a thoughtful, practical way. He is registered with BACP, a professional counselling association, which reflects his commitment to recognized standards of practice.

In sessions he aims to cultivate an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be aired honestly. Peter emphasizes collaboration and supports people in taking the courageous first steps toward meaningful change. He is committed to empowering clients to reclaim skills and habits that foster a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic approaches for online healing and growth

Peter draws on attachment-based therapy to explore how early relationship patterns shape present connections - this approach helps when abandonment, commitment, and intimacy issues affect current relationships. He uses client-centered therapy to prioritize the client's own perspective and pace, offering empathetic listening and support that can be particularly helpful for people navigating grief, life changes, or low self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and reshape unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work and Peter treats that as a collaborative process. He and the client consider needs, goals, and preferences together to determine which methods - or combination of methods - will best support progress.

Online therapy with Peter is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists without travel, helping people fit meaningful therapeutic work into busy lives.
