About Peter
Peter Bramhill is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. He also supports those dealing with relationship strain, addictions, grief, self‑esteem struggles and difficulties with sleep or eating. Peter practises in the United Kingdom and works one-to-one in a respectful, non-judgemental way.
Sessions start by listening to the story the client brings. Peter asks simple questions about how feelings began and what keeps them going. He focuses on everyday changes people can try.
Background and approach
The aim is to give practical steps alongside a chance to be heard. He draws on a mix of approaches, including Narrative ideas that look at personal stories, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to explore values and action, and Attachment-based views when relationships are central. Cognitive Behavioural techniques are used too, when helpful for changing thoughts and routines.
Peter has eight years of experience in therapeutic roles and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That membership is listed as his professional credential. People often come with life changes, work or parenting pressures, or long-standing worries.
In sessions Peter offers a calm, honest style and focuses on what a person wants to try next. The work aims to build clarity, coping skills and small, steady steps toward feeling better. If someone wants to begin, they are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions that suit their schedule.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how he works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Peter directly how he uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How his approaches work online
Peter uses Narrative ideas to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships, identifying alternative storylines that feel more hopeful. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, is used to clarify what matters to a person and to encourage small actions that match those values. Attachment-based approaches look at how early and current relationships shape feelings and patterns, which can help when relational problems are central.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Peter treats this as a collaborative process and will help the person decide what fits best based on their goals, preferences and day-to-day life. He checks in about what works and adjusts the focus as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy flexible. Video brings face-to-face conversation when needed, phone works well if bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging suits people who prefer writing or want to reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and everyday routines.
