He also supports people facing guilt, shame, emptiness, dissociation and communication problems. Petrus speaks English and Afrikaans and has experience with clients from different nationalities.

He welcomes people who want a calm, practical space to talk through their concerns and take steps towards clearer coping and better day-to-day functioning.

How therapy approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions that fit those values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and finding direction after life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is often used for anxiety, stress and depression. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre of the process and emphasises empathy and understanding to help someone feel heard and make their own changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Petrus will discuss options and try different methods to see what fits each person's needs and goals. The process is collaborative - goals are agreed together and reviewed as therapy progresses.

Online sessions offer flexibility using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual contact helps build rapport, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and messaging suits regular brief updates or people who prefer typed communication. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, travel or family commitments while keeping therapy consistent and accessible.
