Peter Aston - Psychodynamic Psychotherapist
I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist with over 30 years of experience working in the NHS and in private practice on Harley Street. Throughout my career, I have worked with a diverse range of individuals, from clients within healthcare to clients in high-powered positions requiring the utmost discretion.

Who I Work With
I offer a compassionate, confidential space for adults of all ages. While I work with a broad spectrum of clients, I am particularly experienced in supporting:
-
Professionals Under Pressure: I work frequently with lawyers, executives, and leaders for whom success is accompanied by stress, anxiety, or emotional exhaustion. Therapy offers a confidential environment to slow down, make sense of these pressures, and navigate issues of burnout and work-related trauma.
-
Complex Needs: I am highly skilled in dealing with complex psychological issues and often see people who, for one reason or another, have found previous therapy unsuccessful. I specialise in Personality Disorders and have a specific interest in Autism.
​
Areas of Expertise
In addition to complex presentations, I have extensive experience treating:
-
Anxiety and Depression
-
Bereavement, Grief, and Loss
-
Relationship difficulties (working with individuals, couples, and groups)
-
Physical and Sexual Abuse
-
Self-harm and Suicidality
How We Work Together
I work entirely online. Initially, we will focus on the difficulties that brought you to therapy. We will explore the background of these issues to formulate a clear understanding of your needs and decide how to proceed—whether that requires short-term focused intervention or open-ended, long-term therapy.
Contact & Consultation
If you would like to explore working together, please contact me to arrange a short, introductory conversation via 07514 931831 or info@awaykn.org. This allows us to determine if I am the right therapist for you before we schedule our first full session.​
