Rose Peters, BACP

Rose Peters is a counsellor who uses a warm, person-focused approach to help people work through stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and trauma. She holds BACP accreditation and brings three years of professional experience to her practice. Rose aims to listen without judgement and to adapt sessions to each person’s needs.

Rose combines attachment-based and client-centred ways of working to help people feel understood. She pays attention to how past bonds affect present relationships and helps people notice patterns that cause pain or distance. Conversations are practical and grounded, focusing on what feels most relevant to the individual.

Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when helpful to spot unhelpful thoughts and try out new, healthier habits. Dialectical behaviour ideas help with strong emotions and impulsive reactions by teaching simple skills for managing feelings. Existential thinking is invited for people who are questioning life purpose or meaning.

Rose supports people facing parenting stress, grief, addiction concerns, sleep or eating issues, and career worries. She also works with people coping with chronic illness, caregiver burden, or difficulties with self-esteem and intimacy. Sessions are shaped around each person’s priorities and pace.

People can expect clear, direct conversation and gentle challenge when useful. Rose describes the work as collaborative - she helps people set goals and tests small changes between meetings. Her aim is to help clients build practical tools and greater emotional understanding over time.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Rose uses attachment-based work to look at how early and close relationships influence current patterns. This approach helps when people feel stuck in repeating relationship cycles or struggle with trust and closeness. She also uses client-centred therapy which focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead to build understanding and self-direction. Cognitive behavioural therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioural changes that can reduce anxiety or improve mood.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a shared process. Rose will discuss the options with each person, consider their goals and preferences, and adjust methods as the work progresses. The plan is revisited regularly so the approach stays relevant to current needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different circumstances. Video calls let people read facial expressions and tone while phone sessions can be a quicker check-in or suit low bandwidth. Live chat and messaging can work for shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching-style support, or for those who prefer writing their thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
