About Peter McShane
Rather than directing clients or prescribing solutions, he helps people uncover their own answers by reflecting what is said in a way that can reveal new perspective. This approach is grounded in the belief that the person themselves knows their life best, and that honest, accurate reflection can make choices and change feel more manageable.
Peter combines a practical, down-to-earth manner with professional training and BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is a recognised professional body for counsellors in the UK. He has supported people with a wide range of concerns including stress and anxiety, relationship and family issues, self-esteem and confidence, coping with life changes, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related matters, eating and sleeping problems, parenting, anger, career challenges, depression, ADHD, and compassion fatigue, with an additional focus on self-harm.
Clients can expect straightforward, respectful conversation rather than jargon, and a collaborative, steady process aimed at helping them understand themselves better and make clearer decisions.

Client-Centered Care and Online Access
Client-Centered Therapy is at the heart of Peter McShane's practice. This approach focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental environment where the therapist listens closely and reflects back what the person says, helping them clarify feelings and make their own decisions. It is particularly helpful for issues like anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, life changes, and coping with grief.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and will be collaborative. Peter works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and adapts the way he works to suit the individual rather than imposing a fixed method. Registered professionals and therapists often combine clear listening with practical support to help clients move forward in ways that feel authentic to them.
Online therapy enables the same client-centered work to take place across video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles, make it easier to maintain continuity during life transitions, and allow people to access help from the location that suits them best.
