About Peter Spanton

Peter Spanton is a UK-based therapist credentialed with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and has five years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, and experiences of abuse. He prioritizes creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings and work toward clearer understanding and coping.

Before training in therapy, he worked in the business world, including many years in the restaurant sector and as creative director of his own drinks company. That practical background shaped his awareness of how workplace pressure and anxiety can affect wellbeing and informs his approach to supporting clients facing similar pressures.

Recognizing how daunting it can be to begin therapy, he encourages those taking that step and offers a steady, empathetic presence to guide the work. His practice aims to help clients find practical strategies and deeper insight as they address immediate concerns and longer-term challenges.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit?

Many people wonder whether working with a therapist remotely can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or life transitions, online therapy can address the same kinds of issues that are often talked through in face-to-face sessions, and many people find remote work to be effective for these needs.

One of the key advantages is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that suits them best, whether that is by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care when schedules or locations change.

Therapists who offer remote work are licensed professionals, and individuals can seek a different provider at any time if they prefer a different therapeutic fit. For many people, online therapy provides a practical, accessible route to professional support with the same kinds of focus and therapeutic goals as in-person care.
