Counsellor Peter Hedley chose Baluu for his whole website when he launched his new business, Life’s Work Counselling. Read on to find out more about his experience.

Company Profile

Peter Hedley, founder of Life’s Work Counselling, believes that mindfulness means something different to everyone. From therapeutic walks in the countryside to talking and sharing individual thoughts and feelings, Peter has a range of bookable counselling and therapy appointments designed to help clients explore mindfulness and maintain a healthy wellbeing in a way that suits them.

‘The grounding nature of being outdoors can help clients manage the emotional intensity of sitting face to face with a therapist which to many can feel overwhelming.’ - Peter Hedley

When it comes to therapy and counselling, Peter understands that it isn’t one-size fits all. With a selection of one-to-one appointments, clients can choose a form of therapy that suits their individual needs.

‘My aim is to connect with clients on a deeply human level, building a therapeutic relationship based on trust, respect and empathy.’ - Peter Hedley

Whether clients are looking for a safe and non-judgemental place to talk or a mindful walk in the countryside, Peter is passionate about helping everyone find the right way of exploring their thoughts and emotions. With this passion in mind, Peter decided to leave behind his teaching career and instead start his own business that allowed him to do what he really cared about.

The Challenge

When Peter has an appointment with a new client, he begins the session by getting to know the client. Through understanding the clients needs, goals and aims, Peter is able to create a rewarding, enriching and healing experience within the session.

‘First sessions usually involve an assessment, this can be conducted online or in-person.’ - Peter Hedley

To ensure every client gets the most out of their mindful journey, Peter offers clients a free initial call to break the ice with the idea of counselling, and see if his appointments are a good fit for the clients unique needs.

When creating his website, it was important to Peter that clients could easily navigate booking an initial call as well as the appropriate appointment for them.
