Bio

Hi! I'm glad you found me!  I am a psychotherapist in real life, however - I cannot give medical advice or function as a therapist for you here.  7cups has some wonderful licensed therapists who are ready to help if you are looking for that.   I only provide active listening here.  I hope I can help by listening and caring.  One caution - my current client load makes it hard to be as responsive as I would like, or take on a lot of new 7cups clients.  For the moment I am not taking new listener clients, I hope that will change soon.

Peter

He is good listener he makes me feel safe to share my emotions
The most productive and helpful chat I've had in a while. Peter's prompt analysis skills and empathy has touched my soul and helped bring the problem to the surface and i've already made more progress on 20 minutes than I've done with my therapist in monthly sessions. Highly recommend and truly grateful for him and fellow listeners at 7 Cups.
I have had many sessions with Peter and am so grateful for them every week! He is one of the most insightful people that I have come across and truly a delight to see during our sessions. What struck me most profoundly is that he can analyze a situation, deeply understand how it must feel, then insightfully remark on an angle you may not have thought of. He notices behavior patterns, is adept at breaking down them down to the the root of the emotions driving them, and presents an alternative perspective or solution. Peter feels like a wise old soul. He is gentle, kind, extremely supportive, and strives to see the good in the people he encounters. This community truly benefits from Peter generously sharing his time. The world would be a much better place if there were more Peters! :) He is hands down my favorite listener on here.
The art of saying A LOT using very few words is rare. Peter barely spoke but everything that he said gave me a new perspective of a problem I am facing. This is a gift that modern people often ignore by trying to express a small idea via long passages. I also have to say that I admire the right combination between professional distance and actual humanity & the correct amount of sharing. It let me connect with Peter on a disturbingly emotional level. Rational Nat is out, so here goes YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY BEST LISTENER EVARRRR!
C'est la meilleure personne pour vider son sac :) . Il est juste SUPERBE . Je le conseille à toute personne en détresse vous en allez pas être déçus
he's very insightful and professional , I highly recommend him to anyone in need
Peter is an amazing, fantastic and the best listener on here. I have been on 7 cups for a while and have never met another listener like him. I don’t know where to start because Peter has helped me so much. I have lots of trauma going back to when i was little and have slowly opened up here and told him my story. Peter has made sure this is my safe space and because of that I feel truly understood and cared for no matter what I say. I have talked about very difficult things for the first time in my life. I am beginning to understand myself and unpick why I am like this today. I am now beginning to name and feel emotions again with Peter’s help. He is exceptionally kind and insightful and I appreciate him so so much. 😊
Good talk.
This was the first listener I've spoken to on this site who made me feel truly heard, who offered my some genuine, useable advice and empathy, and who actually tried to help me solve my problem, and talked to me for a good, long time. I hope he doesn't mind, but I will be coming back to him first in the future to talk if I need to. Thank you, sincerely
Amazing, really listened and took what I was saying and helped me understand what was happening!!!
Peter is the best listener on 7 cups. I'm not just saying that. I've spent a lot of time on this website and he is the best listener I have found. There are no words to say how much I appreciate him and everything he's done for me, but thank you Peter!
great
I have difficulty opening up and I have huge trust issues. I have been numb and isolated for a long time. Peter has stayed with me and helped and supported me to talk about my baby for the first time. He’s patient and caring and truly understands and wants to help. I have never met anyone like Peter before and I’m so glad he’s here. I’m learning to grieve for my baby with Peter guiding me safely.
