Report
Dr Peter is a gently spoken intelligent man who's presence creates a uniquely safe environment for healing and self discovery. It becomes quickly clear of his passion only moments after he opens his doors and offers you a seat. I am a fellow counsellor and see Peter for mentorship and personal development. If you are an individual who has lost purpose and in need of direction, or, a professional wanting to sharpen your skills as a therapist, then take a drive to Bowral and have a chat with Pete.
