About Peter
Peter Parknas is a psychotherapist who uses existential ideas to help people find meaning and direction again. He draws on practical methods to address stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strains. Peter speaks English and Swedish and works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.
He believes people already have inner strengths that can be rediscovered. In sessions he helps clients notice those resources and put them to use. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what matters now, not just the past.
Background and approach
Peter often addresses the ripple effects of trauma, unprocessed loss, and ongoing family tensions. He also helps with parenting strain, intimacy problems, anger and low self-esteem. He aims to make complex issues feel more manageable by breaking them into small, practical steps.
His approach blends talking therapies and mindfulness techniques so people can better understand patterns and try out new responses. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Peter aims to create a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be talked about without judgement.
With seven years' experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), he brings steady clinical experience and professional standards to his work. People looking for remote options can connect in ways that suit their routine. Peter supports clients who want to explore purpose, cope with life changes, or repair trust and communication problems.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Peter mixes existential therapy with attachment-based and client-centred ways of working. Existential therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice and responsibility and can help when life feels empty, stuck or confusing. Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and helps people notice and change repeating patterns. Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the work, offering acceptance and empathy so people can explore feelings at their own pace.Finding the best approach is collaborative. He will talk with clients about their goals, preferences and the issues they bring. Together they decide which methods to try, and can adjust the plan as things change over time.
Online work is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging to match different lifestyles. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing or need flexible, on-the-go contact. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into busy days.
