About Petrus
Petrus Naude is a counsellor with ten years of professional experience practising in the United Kingdom. He holds NCPS as a credential and works in English and Afrikaans. Petrus aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful for anyone who reaches out.
He focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. He also helps people facing LGBT issues and those coping with life changes.
Background and approach
Sessions are framed around the person's real worries and daily challenges rather than jargon or complex theory. Petrus adapts his style to each person. He uses straightforward conversations to identify what matters most.
Together with the client he builds a plan that focuses on small, practical steps and clearer thinking. This may involve spotting patterns, trying new behaviours, and setting achievable goals.
He also works with a wider range of difficulties including attachment and family of origin issues, abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, body image, commitment and communication problems, and feelings of emptiness or dissociation. He can discuss sensitive topics such as BDSM and alternative sex culture in a non-judgemental way. Petrus combines multiple approaches to suit the person in front of him.
He values collaboration, clear feedback, and steady progress over time. If you want a calm, direct counsellor who listens and helps you find practical routes forward, he may be a good match.

Online support
He treats approach selection as a collaborative process. During the first conversations he will discuss which method or blend of methods fits your goals and preferences. The plan can be adjusted over time based on what helps most for your situation.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when video is difficult, live chat offers shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility to match your routine, bandwidth and comfort while working toward clearer thinking and steadier coping.
