About Peter Spanton

Peter Spanton is credentialed in the United Kingdom and brings four years of professional experience to his therapeutic work. He has supported people navigating stress and anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, and experiences of abuse, focusing on practical ways to manage difficult emotions and regain a sense of control.

He prioritizes creating an open and nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared honestly. That supportive stance is intended to help clients explore issues at their own pace and find strategies that fit their lives.

Before qualifying as a therapist, Peter spent many years in the restaurant sector and served as creative director of his own drinks company. That business background gives him first-hand insight into the pressures of work-related stress and the impact it can have on wellbeing.

Peter holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which denotes professional membership within the UK. He acknowledges that taking the first step toward therapy takes courage and offers encouragement to those beginning that process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Peter Spanton draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps people identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and patterns of behaviour so they can manage anxiety, low mood, and problematic coping strategies more effectively. He also uses Psychodynamic Therapy to explore how past experiences and underlying emotional patterns influence current relationships and feelings, offering insight into longer-standing difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Peter works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adapts the work as progress is made so clients feel involved in the direction of therapy.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility and accessibility for people balancing work, family, and travel. These formats make it easier to maintain regular contact with registered professionals and to choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable for each client.
