About Me

Let me tell you a little bit about me..

Hi, I'm Peter Phelps. I'm an integrative psychotherapist and counsellor, and I help people with a wide range of emotional, psychological and relationship issues.
In 2001, after 15 years as a Policeman in London's East end, I decided on a change of career and retrained as a counsellor and psychotherapist. I started my first therapy practice in East Ham and went on to gain a First class Honours Degree in Psychology and an Advanced Diploma in Integrative psychotherapy.
Over the last 20 or so years have expanded my practice to cover three locations in Central London, South Woodford and Romford, and helped thousands of clients.
With the Coronavirus lockdown I've taken my service online, so you can have face to face sessions via WhatsApp, Skype or Zoom, or if you prefer, just over the phone. I am also seeing clients in person again at all of the above locations, and get myself Covid tested twice weekly as well as observing Covid precautions.
So don't suffer in silence, get in touch now!

I see Pete for regular sessions and he's helped me move forward after I lost my partner a year ago. I recommend him after seeing 2 others, I'd say see Pete.

I first met with Peter a number of years ago for a therapy session to help with my Generalised Anxiety Disorder. After suffering for a number of years I wished I had found Peter sooner!
I booked a block of 6 sessions and found it made a big change to my life.
Peter has a calming presence with a complete understanding and does so without judgement.

Peter is amazing at his job. I was looking for help 8 years ago, I was full of anger, now I am anger free, this is because of the work I did on myself with Peter.

As a child I remember my fathers slipper when I got it wrong but I also remember him carrying me on his shoulders and singing. He never told me he loved me but I knew. Now children are left to their iPads with no guidance in any direction and have to make it up as they ho along. Parents seem to be more interested in polishing their cars

In south africa we can not jog or cycle or walk our dogs during lockdown

"It will be disastrous for everybody's physical and mental health."? Are you prone to exaggeration?

I hope they do!

Don’t blame the health secretary blame the people that have no respect for other

I think if people want to run, cycle or walk a dog they should be able to do that. Ban public sunbathing, picnics, static activities and group activities. They’re the problem. A blanket ban on going out apart from shopping will do more harm than good, I believe.

It's a warning that everyone needs to take seriously, stick to the current guidelines and we'll hopefully be ok

A ban isn’t the same as the law. It can’t be enforced. An act of parliament isn’t lawful.

A study shows the effect of chronic social distancing include an estimated 29% increase in mortality rates.. www.psychologicalscience.org/news/social-distancing-prevents-infections-but-it-can-have-unintende...

There's not enough police anymore to have a police state.

6 months?!!!!!

Totally need it. Put money towards nhs. Some are not listening.

I heard that some of the new police powers are to be in place for two years ... much longer than similar laws being passed in europe ..is this a move to install a more permanent Police State ?

I vote for my right to live. Give the Police the powers. I'm in full agreement.

If you read the actual Coronavirus bill itself the powers it gives the government are quite concerning. In a worse case scenario, they could be used to usher in a police state or worse, marshal law. The bill includes power to send people to undisclosed locations for testing for up to 48 hours (which can be reset at any time - so basically indefinitely) and to keep them at places for up to 14 days if they are symptomatic (again, can be reset). The government can appoint whoever the want to act as “health consultants” who have the power to quarantine *anyone* who they suspect *may* have the virus. Also, even if a qualified doctor says you’re not infectious, the government can overrule that decision and keep you in quarantine. We need to watch very carefully what happens to these powers when the bill is set to expire in two years. More worryingly though, there is now a precedent set in UK law to rapidly revoke the entire population’s civil liberty. That is something we should all be concerned about, and certainly not something we should be begging the government to enact like we have done this time around. It’s a very slippery slope. Our rights as citizens weren’t handed to us. We had to fight for them. I accept laws are required and I know some people need laws to stay in line, but let’s never get complacent or normalise things when a government passes a law to keep its citizens under effective house arrest.

Agreed sadly necessary.

Why 6 months if restrictions are only for 3 weeks?? Going too far in my opinion. I have never seen so many police around even when we had a month long run of burglaries locally!!! Now you can get fined for stepping outside your door!!!

Sadly necessary, but these laws should be dropped as soon as possible. They should also have a maximum time date of something like a year. So they can't legally be enforced after that time.

I have a horse that needs looking after - she's only 5 mins drive away, but it leaves me anxious that caring for livestock isn't covered. And no, there is no-one else 🙄

I think in this time were so many are scared, we all know it's spreading. I think it's appropriate to bring this into force. Even now people aren't keeping distance.....

Moving house ?????

Completely needed. Many people simply do not understand the importance of distancing and the potential for this virus to decimate this country. The measures need teeth if they are to be effective

Ask nurses in the NHS and get your answers from them

I'm finding it very difficult with a 3 year old, energetic boy in a small 1 bed with no garden. We go to parks for a walk, people turn up with their children then I have to stop him going to close. I've ended up just going back home. He's becoming withdrawn a bit and it's heart breaking. I'd find it easy to stay in without a child. I could get find for trying to give him exercise because others are there doing the same. Understand how important it is to keep a distance but struggling seeing the life disappear from my child's eyes. X
