About Peter McDermott
He adapts the therapy process and any treatment plan to the individual, believing that a tailored approach supports personal development more effectively than one-size-fits-all methods. This means sessions are shaped around each client’s specific needs, preferences, and goals rather than a fixed protocol.
Peter recognizes that taking the first step toward therapy often requires courage, and he treats that decision as an important sign of readiness to make changes. His emphasis on collaborative, client-focused care aims to help people feel understood and supported as they work through stress, transitions, and other life concerns.

Therapeutic approaches and online options with Peter McDermott
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed actions that align with those values - useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and collaboration; the therapist follows the client's pace and priorities to support self-discovery and emotional growth, which can be especially helpful for issues like self-esteem and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by exploring links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and introducing practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with workplace or daily-life challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Peter will work collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and he can adapt techniques as therapy progresses.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or those living outside local areas. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations, and choose formats that feel most comfortable for each client.
