Peter Coffey, BACP

Peter Coffey helps people who feel stuck move forward or come to terms with persistent problems. They works with clients to explore where a difficulty started, what keeps it in place, and what small changes might open up new options. Peter approaches each person without judgement and centers the client's experience, aiming to create a space where honest reflection can lead to clearer understanding and practical next steps.

Peter is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns. They work with people from the LGBTQ+ community, clients with autism and ADHD, and those who are still questioning whether they belong in these groups. Allies are welcome as well. This background informs a practice that is attentive to identity, difference, and the particular stresses that can come with navigating social and relational expectations.

Peter practices a client-centered approach that prioritizes listening, helping clients name and identify feelings, and offering models or frameworks that can make patterns easier to understand. They do not provide diagnoses or give directive advice, and they avoid asking questions simply to satisfy curiosity or to push clients into actions. Clients are encouraged to correct Peter when something misses the mark so the work can stay aligned with their needs.

Peter holds the BACP credential - a professional designation associated with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. If someone has had difficult or harmful experiences with therapy in the past, Peter aims to earn trust through steadiness and respect. Seeking help is a courageous step, and Peter invites prospective clients to begin that process and explore whether their style feels like a good fit.
