About Peter
Peter Henry is an AHPRA-registered practitioner with six years of professional experience. He works with stress, anxiety, eating issues and depression, and helps people who carry guilt and shame related to relationships, identity or past decisions.
He uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies. Sessions focus on what is getting in the way day to day. He treats people as the experts on their own lives and draws on their strengths to plan small, manageable steps forward.
Peter combines cognitive behavioural ideas with acceptance and commitment approaches to help people notice patterns of thought and action. He also uses attachment-based work to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. Dialectical skills appear in sessions where emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
Men's concerns, communication problems and eating and food-related issues are areas he often addresses. He also works with social anxiety, panic, obsessive-compulsive patterns, avoidant personality traits and broader mood or personality concerns.
Peter offers evening and Saturday morning appointments to fit around work or caring duties. Sessions are delivered in English from Australia. He asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire before their first booking to help match goals and priorities.
How Peter integrates approaches in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful when guilt or shame leads to avoidance or a loss of direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small experiments to test them; this can reduce anxious cycles and confusing self-criticism.Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationship patterns influence current trust, closeness and self-worth. That perspective can make sense of recurring shame or communication problems and help guide different responses in relationships. Peter draws from these approaches to build practical strategies together rather than following one fixed method.
Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. He will discuss your goals and preferences and adapt methods to what you find most helpful. Sessions are offered in English from Australia and the therapist will help decide which approaches suit the issue and your day-to-day life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into busy schedules, for example by making evening or weekend appointments easier to attend or removing the need to travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited or make video-free sessions possible if you prefer not to be on camera.
