About Peter
Peter Parknas is a counsellor who uses relationship-focused approaches to help people regain confidence and direction. He works from the belief that most people already have strengths they can use, and he helps them find and activate those strengths. Peter communicates plainly and aims to make sessions practical and approachable for worried parents.
He often supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. He also addresses relationship strain, family concerns, grief and trauma.
Background and approach
Parenting is a named focus, so he pays attention to the strains that raising children can place on mood and relationships. Peter blends attachment-based thinking with client-centred methods. That means he pays attention to patterns in relationships while keeping the person’s experience central.
He also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviours in everyday life. Sessions aim to be collaborative and grounded. Peter listens for what matters most, helps set achievable goals, and offers practical steps to try between meetings.
He emphasises small changes that add up over time rather than quick fixes. Peter has seven years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which he lists as his credential. He offers work in English and Swedish and accepts international clients.
People meet him online by arranging sessions that suit their schedules.

How online approaches guide parenting and relationship work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current behaviour and emotions. It can help people notice recurring relational reactions and try small changes in how they respond to others, which is useful when parenting feels reactive rather than intentional.Client-centred therapy centres on being heard without judgement. The counsellor offers a calm, accepting presence and follows the person’s priorities, which helps people clarify their values and parenting goals.
Cognitive behavioural techniques identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with practical experiments. These tools can reduce anxiety, reshape negative beliefs and offer simple exercises to try between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Peter works together with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. That means trying ideas, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan in collaboration.
Online sessions let people fit counselling around busy family life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when movement is limited. Live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins and moments when writing feels more comfortable. These options give flexibility for different schedules and practical needs.
