About Peter

Peter Spanton is a BACP-accredited therapist practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. He supports people working through stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression and experiences of abuse, offering practical strategies alongside space to explore difficult feelings.

Drawing on a background in the restaurant sector and time as creative director of his own drinks company, he understands the pressures that work and entrepreneurship can place on mental health. That first-hand experience informs his approach to workplace stress and anxiety and helps him connect with clients who face high-pressure environments.

Peter aims to build an open, nonjudgmental therapeutic space where thoughts and emotions can be shared and explored. He blends evidence-informed techniques with reflective work tailored to each person, helping people address issues such as relationship difficulties, addiction, isolation and questions about life purpose. His clinical training includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy, which he draws on to meet a variety of needs.

He accepts clients in the United Kingdom and works with international clients as well. Peter recognises that seeking therapy is a significant step and offers supportive, collaborative care to help people move forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Peter works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy to address a range of concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and is often used for issues such as anxiety, depression and addictive behaviour. Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences, relationships and unconscious patterns influence current feelings and choices, which can be useful for trauma, relationship difficulties and deeper emotional patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Peter discusses goals, preferences and life context with each person and collaborates to decide which methods or combination of methods are likely to be the best fit. This collaborative process helps tailor work to what a client wants to achieve.

Online therapy gives practical flexibility for people with busy lives or those who cannot attend in person. Peter offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, allowing sessions to fit around work, family and travel. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access therapy from different locations, while still working with a licensed professional in a structured therapeutic way.
