Counselling sessions with me will take place on a weekly basis at a mutually agreed time. 

Hello

I am an understanding and caring psychodynamic counsellor with over ten years’ experience and I am a registered member of both the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC). Additionally, I have practised as a pharmacist in the community for many years. I provide open-ended psychodynamic counselling online via Zoom and via telephone.

I offer a confidential, safe and non-judgemental space where your thoughts and feelings can be brought, shared and explored. I work with a wide range of client issues that include: low self-esteem, relationship problems, addictions, anxiety, depression and a sense of detachment/loneliness.

We are all capable of holding on to emotions such as doubt, mistrust, fear, anger and resentment. Sometimes at a deep level we may even judge ourselves to be fundamentally flawed in some way (particularly when nobody has provided us with the emotional and relational support that we need). Understanding and contextualising such damaging beliefs and ideas loosens their hold over us!

In fact, by exploring the psychodynamics of our inner world, developing our self-awareness and illuminating blind-spots, we become increasingly able to identify our full range of options in relationships and better at making choices that are genuinely right for us. Finding independence of mind and empowerment in decision making leads to a renewed sense of autonomy, purpose and direction.

You do not have to be defined by your past!

You can telephone or email me directly to ask any questions about the therapy that I provide or to make arrangements to begin therapy with me. There is no charge for an introductory call and it provides us with the opportunity to both meet and take an initial look at your current issues.

Many thanks. Peter Evans

At present I am exclusively providing online therapy via Zoom and telephone.  

Sessions are all 50 minutes in duration.

I will work collaboratively with you to uncover and understand how unconscious repetition operates in your life and your relationships. Relational patterns that are operating largely unconsciously restrict a person's range of expression in relationships and this in turn will impact on their total life experience. Such effects can vary from minor to very problematic. 

Letting go of unhelpful patterns of relating is very important.

During our first session I will wish to find out about the difficulties that you are currently facing. I will additionally wish to hear about some of your past experiences such as your memories of early family life and early relationships. A bit of fact finding really! 

During subsequent sessions I will be less directive and you will introduce into each session whatever is present for you at that time. It will be your space.
