Therapy with Pete

I specialise in working with relational dynamics, the unspoken patterns, pushes and pulls, and protective strategies that can quietly shape every part of our lives.

Perhaps you notice yourself giving too much in order to keep the peace, or pulling away when closeness feels overwhelming. Maybe you avoid conflict even if it means silencing your own needs. You may find yourself caught in familiar tensions with partners, family, friends, or even at work, wondering why these dynamics repeat no matter how hard you try to change. Or perhaps you give so much of yourself that you end up feeling unseen, resentful, or exhausted. This can feel painful and confusing and often leave you questioning yourself. These repeating patterns can often trace back to the way we learned (consciously or not) to keep safe. In therapy, we’ll slow things down and bring gentle awareness to how these patterns show up. This isn’t about blame, it’s about making sense of your story, understanding the strategies that once kept you safe, and finding new ways of relating that feel freer, more authentic, and more connected.

I am an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor and clinical hypnotherapist. My approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply relational. That means our connection in therapy isn’t just the backdrop, but part of the process itself. If you’re ready to stop replaying old patterns and start building relationships that feel safe and  fulfilling, let’s gently untangle these patterns together.
