About Peter

AHPRA-registered counsellor with six years' experience, Peter Henry focuses on stress, anxiety, eating concerns and depression. He works with people who are dealing with mood struggles, panic, OCD symptoms, or difficulties with communication. Sessions are offered in English and he sees clients in Australia.

Peter starts by listening to what matters most to each person. He treats people as the experts in their lives and looks for strengths to build on. Early sessions often clarify immediate worries, symptoms, and what a manageable next step would look like.

His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice patterns and try small behavioural changes. He also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas to improve understanding of relationships and how they influence mood and behaviours.

Peter has a particular interest in men’s health and communication problems. He supports people who are questioning life direction, struggling with guilt or shame, or facing emptiness. He also works with food-related issues and eating concerns.

Practical arrangements are discussed up front. He offers evening and Saturday morning appointments to fit around work or study. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The initial meetings focus on identifying priorities and agreeing manageable strategies to try between sessions.

How his therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that match personal values; it is useful for anxiety, stress and eating-related behaviours. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and tests small behaviour changes to reduce symptoms such as panic, social anxiety and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current interactions and helps people understand communication problems and feelings of emptiness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Peter will discuss options with each client and decide together which methods to try based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and may allow shorter check-ins, evening or weekend meetings, or avoiding travel time. Those practical benefits can help people maintain regular work on goals between sessions.
