Peter Walkling-Roberts

Hello, I'm Peter, an Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) and EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner with extensive experience working in NHS mental health services and private practice.

I support adults experiencing a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, low self-esteem, stress, panic attacks, and complex emotional difficulties. I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel daunting, particularly when difficulties have been present for a long time, and I aim to provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard and understood.

Alongside my private practice, I work within NHS Community Mental Health Services, supporting individuals with a broad range of mental health presentations, including complex trauma and severe mental health difficulties. This experience has enabled me to develop a compassionate, flexible, and person-centred approach to therapy.

I have a particular interest in working with emergency service personnel, including police, fire, and ambulance staff, as well as individuals who have experienced trauma, adverse life events, and ongoing emotional distress. My goal is to help clients develop a clearer understanding of their difficulties, build resilience, and make meaningful changes that improve their quality of life.

I am a BABCP Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and an EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner. I have worked across a range of NHS mental health services, including primary and secondary care settings, supporting individuals with both common and complex mental health difficulties.

In addition to my therapeutic work, I am a qualified clinical supervisor and have experience supporting the development of trainee and qualified therapists. I remain committed to ongoing professional development and maintaining the highest standards of evidence-based practice.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your individual needs. I draw upon evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), to help clients understand the factors maintaining their difficulties and develop effective strategies for change.

I believe therapy works best when there is a strong therapeutic relationship, and I strive to create an environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their experiences at their own pace. Together, we will develop a shared understanding of your goals and create a treatment plan that supports meaningful and lasting recovery.
