PETER ROYAL COUNSELLING
Counselling, Psychotherapy & Relationship Therapy in Milton Keynes and Online
A warm, confidential and inclusive space for individuals and couples to explore what is happening in their lives, relationships and sense of self.
I offer integrative counselling and psychotherapy, couples and relationship therapy, and specialist psychosexual support as part of my ongoing training.
ABOUT
Welcome, I'm Peter
I believe therapy should be a space where you can bring the different parts of yourself without feeling that you need to have everything figured out first. My approach is warm, relational and collaborative, giving us space to understand not only what you may be experiencing now, but also the relationships, experiences and patterns that may have shaped you.
I work with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, identity, sexuality, self-esteem and life transitions.
My experience spans private practice, NHS Talking Therapies and specialist charity services, including work supporting people affected by sexual trauma and violence.
Alongside my core psychotherapy practice, I have completed specialist training in couples and relationship therapy and I am currently undertaking further training in psychosexual and relationship therapy.
My practice is inclusive and affirming, with particular awareness of how culture, race, sexuality, gender, relationships and our wider experiences can influence how we understand ourselves.
Whether you're looking for support with something happening now or want to understand yourself and your relationships more deeply, we can explore together what you need from therapy.

Support with sexual concerns, intimacy, desire, sexual confidence and the relationship between emotional and sexual wellbeing. I am currently undertaking specialist training in psychosexual and relationship therapy.

A specialist, sensitive space for exploring the impact of trauma and sexual violence.
SUPPORT
What I Can Help With
Warm, confidential support for individuals and couples in Milton Keynes and online.
Anxiety & Stress
When worry, tension or a racing mind start to take over, we can work together to understand what may be driving it and explore ways of responding differently.
Depression & Low Mood
Feeling flat, hopeless or disconnected can be isolating. I offer a warm, non-judgemental space to explore what sits beneath low mood and gently move towards connection and motivation.
Trauma & Sexual Trauma
A safe, paced and sensitive space to explore the impact of trauma and sexual violence, drawing on my experience supporting people affected by sexual trauma.
Relationships & Attachment
Understanding the patterns you bring to relationships, how earlier experiences may have shaped them, and exploring different ways of relating to yourself and others.
Sex & Intimacy
Support with sexual concerns, desire, confidence and intimacy, and the connection between emotional and sexual wellbeing, as part of my ongoing psychosexual training.
Identity & Sexuality
An inclusive, affirming space to explore who you are, including sexuality, gender, culture and race, and how these shape how you see yourself.
Self-Esteem & Confidence
Exploring the roots of self-criticism and doubt, and building a steadier, kinder relationship with yourself.
Life Changes
Support through transitions such as loss, career change, relationship endings or new chapters, and the questions they can raise about who you are and what you want.
THE BENEFITS
The Benefits of Counselling & Psychotherapy
Counselling and psychotherapy can bring lasting positive change in many areas of life. Through regular sessions, you can develop a clearer understanding of yourself and your relationships, leading to better communication, improved confidence, and greater emotional balance.
Many clients find they gain healthier coping strategies, stronger self-esteem, and the ability to resolve conflict or manage stress more effectively. Therapy can also support relief from anxiety, depression and other mental health concerns, helping you move towards a more grounded, fulfilled and connected way of living.
