About Peter
Peter Spanton is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship strain and anger. Sessions focus on practical discussion and understanding rather than jargon.
Peter draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic approaches. He uses CBT to help map out patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going. He uses psychodynamic ideas to look at longer-standing feelings and past experiences that influence current choices.
Before moving into counselling, Peter worked in the restaurant sector and ran a drinks company as creative director. That business background shapes how he listens to work-related stress and the pressures of day-to-day life. He understands the practical impact of long hours, decision fatigue and burnout.
In sessions he encourages clear conversation about feelings and behaviour. He aims to help people spot unhelpful patterns, try alternative responses and reflect on what those changes feel like. Meetings are straightforward and focused on what the client wants to address.
He accepts international clients and runs his practice in English. Costs vary by location and his sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
CBT helps people identify and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It breaks down problems into small, practical steps and is commonly used for anxiety, mood difficulties and many forms of addiction.Psychodynamic work looks at patterns that developed over time and how past experiences influence today's feelings and choices. It can help when someone wants to understand deeper emotional themes or recurrent relationship patterns.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. You and the therapist can review progress and adjust the approach as you go.
The biography does not detail specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into busy schedules, shorten travel time and allow quieter check-ins during a work break. Discuss practical arrangements with the therapist when you set up your first appointment to ensure sessions fit your routine.
