Therapeutic approaches and online options
Peter blends Narrative-informed ideas with client-centered and cognitive behavioral methods. Narrative-informed work looks at the stories people tell about their lives and helps them notice alternative narratives that feel more helpful and hopeful. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client's lead to build understanding and trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical strategies to change them.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That might mean focusing on story work one week, practicing CBT skills the next, or using motivational techniques to support change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills visually. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing support between sessions and can fit into busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel routines while keeping the focus on practical coping and personal goals.
