Peter Noble

Are you struggling with life? Even if you can’t put your finger on why... perhaps you're suffering anxiety; an overwhelming sense of worthlessness? Low self-esteem? I have in depth training and experience of helping people with issues ranging from grief, depression and loneliness, to existential anxiety, PTSD and suicidal thoughts. I can help alleviate stress and guide you through exploring your difficulties and emotions in a comfortable and confidential manner.

I'm an Integrative Humanistic Person Centred Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, which means I combine many modalities of therapy including CBT, Transactional Analysis, Gestalt, phenomenology... But I also have a sense of humour, I'm creative in my style and have a flare for employing the use of metaphor, active imagination, Guided Imagery and dream analysis in promoting exploration of the subconscious mind. Sharing the journey to understanding and freeing my clients from unrealistic expectations and critical judgements of themselves is core to my practice.

I'm a laid back guy, this helps my clients to feel relaxed and safe, vital for working in depth on issues such as historical trauma, sexual, physical and psychological abuse which require a strong therapeutic connection and trust.

Based in Whitley Bay, contact me to book a session or talk through your therapy options. We can talk about your concerns, I’ll try and guide you to your solutions.

Walk and talk sessions on Whitley Bay beach are back on. Meeting up face-to-face for a stroll along the prom or beach is an amazing backdrop for therapy sessions. Naturally the weather may have a few things to say about how therapeutic this is! If it gets bad, there's always...

Online therapy. Video call sessions via VSee and Zoom. If you have a laptop, tablet or mobile phone and privacy, this can be a great option. Staying in the comfort of your own home saves the anxiety of 'other people' and saves travelling time... However, if your own home is what you need to escape, leaving the house with your phone and some headphones to attend the call on the move or in a safe place can also work. This is dependent on a full battery, at least a 4g signal and plenty of data (preferably unlimited). If not possible...

Phone call. Maximum accessibility for those who need it. Potentially less effective due to the lack of visual and physical cues, but still a viable option in combination with face-to-face and video call as a means of maintaining consistency.
