Counselling Northumberland & online
Helping Adults work through anxiety, loss, life transitions, purpose and identity - therapy grounded in a calm presence.
ABOUT PETE
A calm, steady presence when life feels uncertain.
I’m Pete Askew, a BACP registered therapist with a warm, down-to-earth approach. My clients often come to me in times of anxiety, loss, burnout, and life changes, or when they feel a deeper shift in identity with a search for meaning and purpose.
I offer a grounded, thoughtful space to work things through - gently, honestly, and with care. At my therapy room in Morpeth and online.

Who I work with
I’m sorry that you are in a place where you need to look for help. From my own experience, I know this can feel overwhelming or even scary, particularly if it's the first time you’ve had to do this and you're worried and confused about what’s happening to you. People of all ages and at all stages of life need help at some point in their lives. You are not alone.
You might be here because:
You’re grieving the loss of someone you have loved.
You feel flat, anxious, or stuck.
You’re struggling with negative thoughts.
You’re coming to terms with a new season of life.
You’re exploring a new way of being.
You feel burned out.
Maybe you have been doing your best to appear to others as though nothing is wrong, while inside you feel like you’ve walked off the map into a wilderness of confusing thoughts and feelings, and you can’t seem to find a way out.
Perhaps your inner wilderness has been a lifelong experience, or maybe a recent experience has brought you to this place.
Therapy offers a safe space to explore these experiences and begin to find a way through, at your own pace, and in your own words.
Therapy has shown that with the brokenness and challenges of life also comes the potential for insight, hope, and change. As a therapist, I believe that you have the ability to access these things, my role is to help you to do this.
The fact that you are looking for a therapist now suggests that you believe that healing and change are possible, and that it is time to address whatever is burdening you.
