Peter Coffey, BACP

Peter Coffey is a counsellor who helps people move past problems or learn to live with them. They present as non-binary and use they/them pronouns. Peter aims to listen carefully and help clients name and understand their feelings before working out what comes next.

They often work with people from the LGBT community and with clients who have autism or ADHD. Peter also supports those who are questioning whether they belong in those communities, and allies are welcome to seek support too.

Sessions focus on talking things through rather than giving advice or diagnosing. Peter listens, offers ways to understand patterns, and suggests models that can make feelings and behaviour clearer. Clients are encouraged to say when something feels off so the work stays honest and useful.

Peter has six years of experience and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP in their credentials. They practise from New Hampshire and run sessions in English.

People often come with concerns about stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, relationships, ADHD and identity questions. Peter also works with issues such as communication problems, gender dysphoria, loneliness, midlife concerns, men's issues, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics.

How client-centred practice fits online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own answers. The counsellor provides a non-judgemental space, reflects what they hear, and supports people to name emotions and consider next steps. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, relationship questions, identity exploration and neurodiversity-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Peter will collaborate with each person to decide what feels most helpful. They start by listening to goals and preferences, then adapt how sessions run as trust and clarity grow.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, avoid travel time, and choose quieter or more flexible moments for check-ins. Some people prefer shorter phone check-ins when they have limited bandwidth, while others find a longer video conversation useful for deeper exploration. Registered or accredited professionals can help you decide which arrangement will fit your routine and needs.
