Peter Baikie
Professional Profile
As an experienced, BACP accredited therapist, my aim is to promote the emotional health and well-being of the individuals I work with. If you’re currently feeling low, stuck, confused or anxious, getting the right kind of help can make a big difference.
My experience has shown that sharing your feelings and thoughts with a friendly, practical, trustworthy therapist is likely to lead to positive change, greater understanding and a happier, more meaningful and fulfilling life.
When I went to therapy for the first time over 30 years ago, it felt like a defeat - a last resort. However, through deepening conversation, I found a space where I was helped to recover, understand problematic thought patterns, locate my inner guide, and move towards a lighter, more authentic way of being.
That experience led to my training in a number of therapeutic approaches including person-centred, psychodynamic, existential and mindfulness-based therapies. Now I offer an integrative approach that combines elements from different approaches, to create a personalised treatment plan based on a person’s unique needs and circumstances.
My approach is tailored to what each individual brings to therapy, and I offer a safe and confidential space to explore what’s on your mind in your own time and at your own pace.
I offer both short and long term therapy, and work one to one with adults.
My standard fee as a therapist is £60 per session, although I do offer discounts to those who are financially stretched.
