Peter Gratrix is a counsellor with seven years of practice in the United Kingdom.

About Peter

Peter Gratrix is a counsellor with seven years of practice in the United Kingdom. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. He aims to treat everyone with respect and compassion and meets people where they are.

He builds sessions around what each person needs, rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Conversations are practical and down-to-earth. He helps people find small steps they can take between sessions to feel more in control.

Background and approach

His background includes supporting people with compassion fatigue, addictions, trauma and abuse, and relationship and intimacy concerns. He also offers help with sleep and eating issues, career changes, and managing ADHD and bipolar-related challenges. He pays particular attention to fatherhood matters, family problems, veteran and armed forces issues, and trichotillomania.

Peter draws on client-centred methods to keep the client's experience central. He also uses mindfulness to build present-moment coping and motivational interviewing to strengthen readiness for change. Solution-focused techniques help set short-term goals and track progress.

Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged for people outside the UK. He works with a range of formats so people can choose what fits their life. He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and then schedules sessions based on mutual availability.

Ways of working Peter names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How his approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens actively and follows the person's lead to help them find their own answers, which can help with anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress. These techniques are useful for sleep problems, rumination and coping with difficult emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Peter will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and adapt methods so they suit you. That collaboration helps shape session pace, focus and homework tasks.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their routine. Video calls work well for face-to-face discussion and exercises, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging lets you share thoughts between appointments. These options make it easier to get support around work, family and daily life.
