About Peter
Peter Parknas uses a practical, person-focused approach to help people reconnect with the strengths they already have. He aims to make therapy straightforward and understandable for someone feeling overwhelmed. Peter works in English and Swedish and practices across the United Kingdom.
He draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. He also uses client-centred work to keep sessions grounded in the person’s priorities. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when practical steps and clear experiments can reduce anxiety or lift mood.
How Peter works
Peter often sees people dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. He also helps with relationship strain, intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns and family problems. Other areas he supports include grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, anger, ADHD and challenges linked to life transitions.
In sessions he focuses on simple, doable changes. Conversations look at patterns, practical coping tools and new ways to test old assumptions. He helps people notice small shifts that add up over time.
Peter has seven years of experience and holds BACP registration, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential. He offers sessions by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give different ways for people to connect.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Attachment-based work looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they turn up now in trust, closeness and conflict; online sessions can make it easier to notice these patterns and try new ways of relating. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities, giving space for feelings and choices to be heard and explored in a supportive way. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps break down problems into clear thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and uses small practical experiments to build different habits. Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Peter will talk through what feels most useful, try different ways of working, and adjust the plan to fit each person’s goals and preferences. Together they set priorities and check what is helping as therapy proceeds. Online formats offer practical benefits for people juggling work, family and other commitments. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera, and live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or shorter sessions. These options provide flexibility in how and when people access therapy, making it easier to keep momentum between appointments.Start online instead of waiting
