About Me
About Peter Cellarius
My Story
Welcome to my counselling practice. I’m I’m Peter Cellarius, a licensed, certified and registered marriage and family therapist (RCC, CCC, RMFT, CA LMFT, EFT, SEP), and my mission is to help you find fulfilment and joy in your life. If you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or other challenges, I’m here to support you.
As a therapist, I work with individuals, couples, and families to navigate difficult emotions and find a path toward growth and healing. My training includes Somatic Experiencing (SEP certified), Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples (EFT) and for Individuals (EFIT), both certified, Compassionate Inquiry (CI), Internal Family Systems (IFS Level 3), ACT (advanced), The Work by Byron Katie, PACT, EMDR, AEDP, and MI. I’ll work collaboratively with you to find the approach that suits your needs.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years in senior executive roles in the high-tech industry. Over time, I came to realise that success and financial rewards weren’t enough to bring lasting happiness. I felt a deep calling to help others overcome pain and emotional hardship—this led me to the path of counselling.
If you’re ready to take the first step toward a more fulfilling life, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation. Let’s explore the possibilities and discover the path that’s right for you.

My Education & Experience
In my counselling practice, I prioritise creating a safe and empathetic space for all clients. I believe that healing begins from within, and I emphasise a “bottom-up” approach to therapy — one that honours the body’s natural wisdom and its ability to guide the mind.
Therapeutic modalities like Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) are central to this perspective, helping clients reconnect with their bodies and inner resources.
For me, therapy is a collaborative journey. I integrate a wide range of evidence-based approaches to ensure each client feels seen, heard, and empowered. I’m committed to lifelong learning in order to better serve you, which includes continuing my own personal therapy — because I believe we are all fellow travellers on the path of growth.
