Peter Thompson, NCPS

Counsellor Peter Thompson is registered with the NCPS and has 14 years of practice. He works with people on stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, anger, self‑esteem and addictions among other concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients from the United Kingdom.

Peter uses a person‑centred way of working. He places the client at the heart of sessions and treats people as equals. He aims to create an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. His style is described as down to earth and straightforward, and he sometimes introduces light humour when it fits the moment.

Over 14 years he has worked across volunteer and professional roles. That experience informs how he helps with motivation, confidence and coping through life changes. He also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction and intimacy‑related issues, and with concerns such as sleep problems, parenting and career strain.

Peter draws on several established approaches in his practice. He commonly uses client‑centred methods, cognitive behavioural ideas, psychodynamic reflection and solution‑focused techniques. He adapts these to the issue presented and to the person in front of him rather than following one strict model.

Three words sit at the centre of his work: choice, responsibility and autonomy. He will work with clients to restore a sense of control over those areas. He is also a writer and spoken word performer and sometimes brings that background into how he works with language in sessions.
