Dean Peters

I am a person-centred therapist based in London. I’ve had a varied career, studying science and philosophy, and volunteering in sex education and drug harm reduction. I draw insight from various therapeutic approaches, including existential therapy, CBT and mindfulness, as well as research-oriented psychology. I have a calm and grounded therapeutic style, paired with an analytical perspective that quickly gets to the core of things. I am famously hard to shock and I like to bring humour and irreverence into my practice. I am looking forward to working with you!

Since childhood, we as men often aren’t given the tools to observe and express our own or others’ emotions. We’re great at solving practical problems, but unfortunately can find ourselves at a loss in situations where this isn’t possible. We might find ourselves frozen, unable to move forward. Or we might respond with an emotion (often anger) that’s not appropriate. In my practice, I am committed to working with men to develop their emotional skills, so that they can more effectively pursue their goals, foster better relationships, and have more joy in their lives.

I’m happy to have a quick phone call to any prospective client with questions about therapy or the way I work in particular. I also offer an introductory session at my minimum rate (£20) to all new clients. Please enquire if you are on low income or otherwise require a discounted rate.
