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.

Dr. Rue PLLC
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Do you feel like you’re always keeping it together on the outside, even when everything feels overwhelming inside? Maybe you’ve achieved so much, but the constant pressure to do more and be more never lets up. Do you find yourself replaying past experiences or carrying the emotional weight of things you thought you’d moved on from? Perhaps you’re caught in patterns like saying “yes” when you’re exhausted, avoiding conflict, or struggling to feel like you’re truly enough, no matter how much you do. These are the effects of trauma and high-functioning anxiety, and they can leave you feeling stuck and disconnected.
I specialize in helping individuals with high-functioning anxiety, trauma, grief, and self-doubt. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT and ACT, I help clients break free from patterns that no longer serve them and create space for healing and growth. Together, we’ll challenge the beliefs that keep you feeling overwhelmed, build tools to manage stress, and reconnect you with your own needs and goals.
Therapy is more than just talking; it’s about real, actionable change. If you’re ready to stop surviving and start thriving, let’s connect. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation today, and let’s work together to create a life where you feel calm, confident, and whole.
