About Peter
Peter Parknas works from a therapist-led, collaborative approach that focuses on attachment, personal meaning and practical change. He aims to help people notice and use the strengths they already have, and to build ways of coping that fit everyday life.
Peter has seven years of experience in the UK and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. He commonly supports people with stress, anxiety and depression. He also works with relationship and family concerns, trauma and grief, and issues linked to identity and intimacy.
In sessions he aims to make things simple and clear. Conversations focus on what matters to the person in front of him and on small steps that can make life feel more manageable. He combines ideas from attachment work, client-centred listening and cognitive methods to help people understand patterns and try different responses.
Peter pays attention to how early relationships influence current struggles, and he helps people spot unhelpful habits that keep problems going. He uses mindfulness and existential perspectives to support people who are questioning life direction or meaning.
Sessions are offered in English and Swedish, and he accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability through the Start Therapy flow.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how past relationship patterns shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns in the moment and try new ways of relating to others.Client-centred therapy emphasises being heard and respected. In an online conversation this often looks like steady listening, reflective feedback and space to follow topics that matter to the client.
Cognitive behavioural ideas are practical and action-orientated, helping people test new thoughts and behaviours between sessions. These techniques can be used to manage anxiety, mood and daily stressors in small, achievable steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which mix of methods suits their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change as therapy progresses and new issues arise.
Please confirm the session formats available before booking, as the profile does not list specific delivery methods. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy lives, makes it easier to attend during work breaks and reduces travel time. It also allows continuity for international clients who wish to work with a UK-based therapist.
