Peter Henry, AHPRA

Peter Henry is registered with AHPRA (the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency) and brings six years of professional experience supporting people in Australia through stress, anxiety, eating concerns and depression. He works from a strengths-based perspective, believing that each person is the expert in their own story and that personal strengths can be mobilised to address life’s challenges. Peter frames help-seeking as a courageous first step toward a more fulfilling life and aims to create a collaborative environment where change is possible.

He values a two-way learning process in therapy, noting that work with each client informs and refines his understanding and empathy. That approach shapes how he responds to complex concerns such as avoidant personality patterns, communication problems, obsessive or compulsive behaviours, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and mood disorders. Men's issues, including relationship and purpose-related questions, are a particular area of interest, and he supports men exploring how to improve communication, interpersonal functioning and life direction.

Peter emphasises practical, step-by-step work tailored to what matters most to the client and offers evening and Saturday morning appointments to better fit busy schedules. He aims to empower people to discover strategies that promote a healthier, more balanced state of mind.

Therapeutic Approaches Delivered Online

Peter Henry works with evidence-informed approaches suited to online delivery and explains each in clear, practical terms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and supports committed action toward a values-led life - it can be useful for stress, anxiety and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating developed in early relationships and how they show up in current connections, helping with interpersonal difficulties, communication problems and relationship distress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) equips clients with structured strategies to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and is commonly applied for anxiety, panic, OCD-related concerns and mood disorders.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process; Peter helps each person explore which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the work as therapy progresses. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy aligns with a client's priorities.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, family and other commitments. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions, maintain momentum between appointments and access appropriately qualified or registered professionals from different locations, all while supporting consistent progress toward therapy goals.
