Accepting New Clients
Feeling like your mind doesn't slow down, no matter how hard you try? Maybe you're overwhelmed, burnt out, or stuck in patterns you're not sure how to step out of, or navigating ADHD, anxiety, grief, or chronic health challenges without knowing where to turn. Maybe you're trying to understand yourself more clearly, or figure out how to move forward in a way that actually feels sustainable.
Together, we can slow things down, build insight, and help you feel more grounded and confident day-to-day. We'll start with a free consultation call.
I work with individuals 16+ from diverse backgrounds, including 2SLGBTQA+ and neurodivergent communities, as well as those living with chronic illness or disability. Currently completing my Master's degree, I offer a space that is affirming, compassionate, and non-judgmental. Somewhere you can show up without the mask.
My approach draws on CBT, ACT, DBT, ERP, and trauma-informed, mindfulness-based practices. I support clients with anxiety, burnout, OCD and phobias, ADHD, grief, life transitions, women's health, and chronic health concerns. Sessions adapt to you, with a focus on connection, emotional regulation, and practical strategies that fit your real life.

Peter Klein
Therapist, BABCP Accredited, BACP Registered Member
I am a fully accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist (BABCP) based in Richmond, London, offering both face-to-face and online therapy. I have over 13 years of experience helping people overcome difficulties including anxiety, OCD, stress, low self-esteem, perfectionism and depression.
My approach is tailored to each individual. I believe therapy works best when we develop a clear understanding of your difficulties together and create a practical plan for meaningful change. I use evidence-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), including the UCL Case Formulation Model, alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy and Schema Therapy.
I previously worked as a CBT therapist at the world famous Priory Hospital in Roehampton, where I created and delivered psychological treatment programmes, and I have been working in private practice since 2012.
Whether you are struggling with anxiety, feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns, dealing with self-criticism or wanting to develop greater confidence and resilience, therapy can help you understand yourself and create lasting change.
I offer confidential online therapy sessions and therapy in Richmond, London.
