About Peter
Peter Henry is an AHPRA-registered counsellor with six years of clinical experience. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, eating concerns and depression, including panic disorder and panic attacks. He aims to make the first steps feel manageable and practical for people seeking change.
Peter works in a straightforward way. He listens first, then helps set simple, achievable goals. Sessions focus on what is causing the most disruption in day-to-day life and on small steps to reduce that strain. He offers evening and Saturday morning appointments to fit around busy schedules.
His approach draws on several evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy. Peter uses these methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns, learn new skills and take values-based actions. He keeps explanations plain and hands-on rather than overly technical.
Men's health and communication issues are areas he takes a particular interest in. He supports men working through questions about purpose, relationships and emotional expression. Peter also works with people who face multicultural challenges and complex difficulties such as personality and mood disorders.
People who choose to work with him fill out a short matching questionnaire, then schedule to a time that suits them. He describes therapy as a two-way learning process and aims to help each person build practical strategies for a healthier, more balanced life.
How therapy approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take action that matches their values. It can be useful for anxiety, panic and feeling overwhelmed. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to reduce unhelpful thinking and avoidance. It is often used for panic attacks and social anxiety. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) focuses on building skills for managing strong emotions and improving how someone copes with distress and relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, life context and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as things progress, so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Practical benefits of online therapy depend on the session formats available. Please confirm current session options before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. It also supports using worksheets, in-session exercises and real-time skill practice that transfer into everyday life. Appropriately qualified or registered therapists can adapt these approaches to suit each person's needs and circumstances.
