Peter Parknas , BACP

Peter Parknas is a licensed psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom who believes that most people already possess the tools needed to create a life they enjoy. He recognizes that people sometimes become sidetracked or lose confidence in their ability to use those resources, and he works collaboratively to help clients reconnect with and activate their strengths so they can move toward a more fulfilling life.

His practice concentrates on stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflicts, depression and the long-term effects of unprocessed trauma. He helps clients explore how past experiences influence present patterns and supports the development of practical strategies for coping, communication and emotional regulation.

Peter aims to foster an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed honestly. He emphasizes the courage involved in seeking change and offers steady support and encouragement throughout the therapeutic process. He holds the BACP credential, indicating membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Work

Peter integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in his online practice. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current bonds and emotional responses, and it can be useful for issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties and intimacy challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and the client’s own pace for change, helping people who need validation and a supportive space to explore feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical techniques for anxiety, depression and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Peter works with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their needs, goals and preferences, and he treats the choice of tools as a collaborative decision with the client.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone, and options for live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to connect from different locations. These options make therapy more accessible and allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care even when schedules or geography change.
