Therapeutic approaches and online support
Peter Saunders uses client-centered and psychodynamic approaches to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an empathic, nonjudgmental space where the client directs the pace and focus of sessions - this approach is especially helpful for issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns, and emotional processing. Psychodynamic therapy explores patterns formed by past experiences and relationships to uncover how they shape present difficulties - it can be useful for trauma, attachment issues, recurring relationship problems, and deeper personality or mood patterns. Peter may also draw on solution-focused techniques to identify practical steps and small, achievable changes when clients want targeted support.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Peter works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, assess what resonates, and adapt methods to fit individual needs, preferences and life circumstances. Together they decide which combination of approaches best supports the intended outcomes.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support without travel, to maintain continuity during life transitions, and to choose the format that best suits a client’s communication style and practical needs.
