About Peter

I came across Focusing in 2003, and since then I have not looked back.

It has made a huge difference to my life. For me it is much more than a therapeutic tool: it connects to a whole approach to living.

Focusing has helped me to contact what i deeply feel and value and live more from that space. It has clarified and resolved deeper tangles and has helped me to develop a deep empathy and acceptance within myself and towards others.

I am finding that the body has much to teach me, and I love teaching this to others.

Find wisdom, answers and healing, right where you stand.

The Way of Curiosity is a practical and inspirational guide to accessing and living from the wisdom of the body. It offers ways of navigating feelings and emotions, critical voices and finding the quieter hidden wisdom that we all carry. In essence, it offers a pathway to emotional healing, deep change, fresh answers to old problems and radical self compassion.

  • Finding Peter’s courses came at a time in my life when I wasn’t sure what I was looking for and feeling a little lost.
