Peter provides psychotherapy, psychosocial support, and mental health education, and has experience working with Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) and international mental health platforms. His work also includes community-based mental health initiatives and collaboration with multidisciplinary professionals to support clients requiring comprehensive care.

Peter takes a client-centered and collaborative approach to therapy, creating a supportive and non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. His work is primarily informed by evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), psychoeducation, and psychosocial support frameworks. He integrates elements of solution-focused and strengths-based approaches to help clients identify practical coping strategies and build resilience.

Peter also incorporates trauma-informed principles and culturally sensitive practices when working with individuals from diverse backgrounds. Depending on the client’s needs, he may include behavioural strategies, emotional regulation techniques, and reflective dialogue to support insight and self-understanding.

I was struggling with Panick Attacks, Serious Insomnia, Grief Pain, Confusion, mental fog, Lack of Concentration, Memory loss & chronic fatigue (very low spiritual energy). What Dr Peter gave me is an honest listening ear. He was so psychological present in the therapy room, he appeared concerned with my healing & that gave me hope. He empathised with me (at some point I thought I would hurt him with my story).
I regained some control over my life routine, I was able to resume work, I really can't figure out what would have become of me if I didn't found therapy.

After losing my son, grief felt constant, especially in the quiet nights when memories returned. In therapy, what helped most was speaking openly without judgment and learning that grief takes time. I was guided to face painful memories and allow emotions instead of resisting them. Over time, I’ve grown more patient with my healing, accepting that my love for him will always remain, and learning to carry the loss while slowly finding strength to move forward

I came to therapy when my drinking began affecting my work, relationships, and well‑being. I felt trapped in a cycle I couldn’t break alone. In therapy, we explored the triggers behind my alcohol use and developed healthier ways to cope with stress and difficult emotions. Having a safe space to speak openly without judgment helped me reflect on my choices and take responsibility for change. Over time, I became more aware of my patterns and began making intentional decisions. Today, I feel more in control of my habits and more hopeful about sustaining a healthier lifestyle.
