About Peter
Peter Coffey is a counsellor with six years of experience who works with people from the LGBTQ+ community and others exploring identity. They use an open, non-judgemental style and focus on helping people move past a problem or come to terms with it. Peter is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns in practice.
Peter listens first and asks questions to help people name their feelings. They do not give advice or make diagnoses.
Background and approach
Instead they offer ways to understand what is happening and suggest simple models to make sense of difficult moments. Typical concerns Peter supports include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, relationship strain and ADHD related difficulties. There is also experience with autism and Asperger syndrome, gender dysphoria, sexuality and a range of non-traditional relationship styles such as polyamory and kink related topics.
Sessions are collaborative. Peter invites clients to correct them if something feels off. That approach helps build trust, especially for people who have had poor therapy experiences before.
Peter asks new clients to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to their availability. The cost varies with location and availability and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Peter works from New Hampshire and runs sessions in English.
People who reach out can expect a straightforward, respectful space to talk through what matters to them and to find practical ways forward.

How client-centred approaches fit with online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping the person find their own solutions. The counsellor offers support by reflecting feelings, asking open questions and suggesting frameworks to make sense of emotions. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, relationship issues and identity questions where understanding oneself matters.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Peter will discuss goals, needs and preferences with each person and together decide which way of working suits them best. The process is collaborative and adaptable as needs change.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, such as joining from a quieter location, cutting travel time or having shorter check-in conversations when schedules are tight. Online work can also help maintain continuity when circumstances change, and it often lets people access therapists who understand LGBTQ+ issues or neurodiversity without needing to travel far.
