About Peter

Peter Parknas is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who draws on trauma-focused and attachment-based approaches to help people regain direction. He aims to help individuals find and use their own resources again. Sessions focus on practical steps that make everyday life feel more manageable.

Peter spends time listening to what matters to each person. He helps people untangle stress, anxiety and depression so they can feel calmer day to day.

Background and approach

Relationship and family concerns are addressed by looking at patterns of communication and attachment that keep problems repeating. Trauma and abuse are part of his practice focus. He works to identify how past events still affect thinking, behaviour and relationships, and to reduce their ongoing influence.

This is done in a paced way that follows the client’s lead. He uses a mix of methods, including client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques. That mix is shaped around what the person needs, not a fixed recipe.

Sessions are practical and conversational rather than technical. With seven years of clinical experience and BACP registration, Peter supports people through grief, anger, identity concerns and life transitions. He also helps with questions about intimacy, parenting pressures, ADHD-related struggles and cultural or LGBT issues.

People can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk about hard things. The focus is on small, steady changes that improve daily functioning and rebuild a sense of control and purpose.

How his approaches work online and what to expect

Peter draws on trauma-focused therapy to help people identify how past harm continues to affect them. This approach aims to reduce the ongoing impact of traumatic memories and to build better emotional management in day-to-day life. Attachment-based therapy is used to look at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and communication; it helps people change repeating patterns and feel more supported in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try different methods to see what helps most. That decision is collaborative and may change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video is useful when people want face-to-face interaction, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options provide flexibility so therapy can continue around work, family commitments and travel.
