About Petrus

Petrus Naude is a counsellor with ten years of professional practice in the United Kingdom. He works with people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in confidence, or struggling with changes in their life. He also supports those facing depression and people navigating LGBT concerns.

Petrus speaks English and Afrikaans and works with clients from different countries. He draws on Systemic Therapy alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Background and approach

In sessions he focuses on what is happening now and the patterns that keep problems in place. He uses practical tools and simple conversations to help people notice choices and try new ways of responding. Sessions are tailored to each person.

Petrus adapts pace and language so conversations stay clear and grounded. He pays attention to family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment themes when they matter to the person in front of him. He also offers support around body image, fatherhood questions, and sexual concerns such as kink and BDSM when clients bring them up.

Petrus uses a collaborative way of working. He helps people set small goals, tries short experiments between sessions, and checks progress together. He aims to make therapy something people can fit into busy lives, using methods that feel simple and relevant.

Getting started involves a short matching process and scheduling a session. He welcomes people from different backgrounds and international locations and will work with you to find an approach that fits your situation.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Systemic Therapy looks at patterns between people and how those links affect the issue at hand. Online sessions use conversation to map those patterns, spot repeats, and try different responses that can be tested between meetings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then take actions that match their values; online work uses simple exercises and values-based goals that are easy to practise between sessions. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, non-judgemental relationship where the person sets the pace and topics for discussion.

Finding the right approach is part of the first few sessions. The therapist will work together with you to choose methods that match your needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as you try things and see what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good when visual contact helps the conversation. Phone sessions can fit around a busy schedule and use less bandwidth. Live chat or messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to work around everyday life.
