I’m a Relationship coach. For couples I’m trained and certified in Relational Life Therapy (RLT). RLT was created by a leading American in the relationship field called Terry Real. It differs from traditional couples counselling in a number of ways, for instance traditional couples counselling doesn’t take sides (everything is 50/50).

A super guy with incredible patience and insight. His support, guidance and wisdom helped me through some real dark times and I will be eternally grateful to Pete for the help he gave me.

I can not recommend Peters support, guidance and counsel enough . I found Peter to be very professional and very quickly got to grasps with my needs. His approach and the tools he gave me allowed me to grow and work through my issues to a very satisfactory conclusion. I certainly came out of my time a completely different person stronger with a greater self awareness and confident with many tools that I know I will call upon in the future. I know i could not have gotten to where I am without the support of Peter. Many thanks Peter it was life changing. More...

I had hit a wall in my 28 year relationship and Peter was able to unravel behavioural traits and the harmful pattern we were trapped in. Peter's calm manner and tone helped me to be open. He equipped me with the techniques that have lead to healthier relationships - not only in my marriage but with my children too. Peter is insightful and honest. He also cares and this shines through in his practice. More...

Peter is a very thoughtful and insightful coach. His style is calm and quiet but he knows when to step in firmly and controls the conversation within a session very well. He is evenly balanced, with participants being given equal voice, although necessarily the conversation can focus on one person, or the other, more or less from session to session. He takes good notes, which he reviews and uses to prepare for future sessions, ensuring that important issues are brought up at the right time and in balance with the sequence of his counselling approach/methods. I was expecting counselling to be painful and cringy, but time spent with Peter passed quickly and I looked forward to each session. And the end result was very positive. I feel better equipped to understand myself and how to manage my relationship - which is now much improved and thriving. More...

Peter literally saved my marriage! I would not hesitate to recommend him to friends and family. My husband and I were at crisis point and after our first session we hugged told each other we loved each other and would make it work!
Peter has the best qualities as a coach and counsellor. He has a gentle way about him that makes you feel safe talking about anything.
He also helped me get closer to my daughter. I would never have realised I was doing it all wrong and pushing her further away. This has made a huge difference in my life. Thank you for everything Peter.

Peter has been incredibly helpful, he gave me space to analyse myself and the impact of others behaviour onto me. Peter challenged me to work out why I allowed certain behaviours and to take ownership of this so I am aware for future relationships, he also gave me strategies that will enable me to ensure I am quicker to respond to unwanted behaviours.
Archie
Peter has helped me get through a very difficult period in my life by showing me skills and ways to reflect allowing me to become "unstuck" from a cycle of negative thinking.
He has been patient and insightful; with gentle probing and encouragement to allow me to come to conclusions and move forward. Thank you Peter.

I have been victim of trauma all my life, it can make , break and most certainly shapes you, with help of Peter’s guidance, his patience, alongside his skills and his tools, the personal growth and healing that I have experienced over the last few months is bring out the best version of my self, and this for me is priceless.
I have come to understand what it truly means to connect to one self, in order to fully, in order to make sense of my past as abled me to “let go”.
I have now learnt, that there is power in my vulnerability, Life isn’t about being accepted by all, it’s about accepting myself. And that the Forgiveness is for me.
I have learnt that I don’t need to be constantly available, nor apologise for saying no, as it isn’t my job to keep and maintain everyone else’s happiness.
There’s something freeing in knowing that I don’t have to change who I am to fit someone else’s idea of who I should be.
Every time I choose to stay true to myself, I’m reminded that my worth isn’t tied to how others see me. It’s tied to the courage it takes to be, and to be real.

Cannot recommend this guy enough. A structured approach to such a sensitive life event. Clear outline of service provided always prepared and up to speed with your circumstances.
A personalised approach that does get results.

Ed Howard
I was frankly lost when met Peter, but through several months of working together I am now in a good place. I honestly don't think I could have done it without Peter.
From the outset he saw through what I was saying to what I actually needed.
If you are looking for genuine growth then Peter is your man.

I found Peter by chance on Bark when I realised my relationship
with my son had broken as I thought beyond repair.
I had engaged other counsellors in the part few years and they were just a listening service.
Peters approach was unique to me.
He was not full of sympathy but made me look at myself and what part I was playing in the relation and its breakdown.
I learnt a lot about myself and my reactive behaviour .
I was forced to have a long hard look at myself.
Over several weeks he told me if I wanted the relationship
to change I needed to change.
My son and I are now talking, we have some way to go but I now have the tools to deal with it.
Thank you Peter.

Absolutely life changing!
I've been working with Peter over the past 3 months doing the 'Conscious Uncoupling" course and it's totally awakened me!
The journey has taught me so much about myself, and has enabled me to overcome and heal from false beliefs that I had about myself.
Peter was amazing to work with and made me feel completely comfortable and at ease, showing care, understanding, support and encouragement throughout.
The Conscience Uncoupling course has been truly transforming for me and I would highly recommend it with Peter.

Peter has taken me from some very dark places. I spoke to another guy claiming to be a pay of bark , whom put the phone down on me. Peter took the time and helped me move forward. I couldn’t speak highly enough about him More...

I have been working with Peter since the beginning of September and he picked me up at the worst time in my life. It has been a deep emotional pleasure to go through so many different things with Peter. He has helped me immensely, helped me find who I truly am and not the false belief story I’ve been telling myself for decades. His awareness of each and every moment has been and still is nothing short of inspiring. I feel like he’s always there for help and assistance and I look forward to working with him more. For those of you who have a heart felt desire to go through this journey and wonder what life could be like with your eyes and heart open. Peter won’t let you down. More...
Stephen John Woolston
Counselling
I didn't think much to this gentleman I organized some sessions and he didn't turn up at the agreed time and then when I spoke to him on the phone he made a feeble excuse, I said I didn't trust him then his number was uncontactable he still owes me £80 for a failed session, I am certainly not giving my bank details to this gentleman, will have to recover through the bank.
Reply from Peter Gatley Coaching
I've been late for a session once, with Stephen. There was a reason this happened. I apologised, explained and offered to reschedule or refund him. I received no reply to either my texts or emails. A few days later went to my bank to refund Stephen anyway, found that I couldn't because my bank didn't have his details. Again, sent a text and an email explaining this to Stephen. Disappointed that Stephen thought my reason was flimsy and perplexed why he says my number was uncontactable, it hasn't been. Also, I received no communication saying that he didn't trust me. Although I do accept that people should naturally be cautious about giving bank details to people they haven't met, as was the case here. Hopefully his bank will sort this out to his satisfaction, there certainly won't be a problem with mine. I cannot do more than I have to resolve this and disappointed my efforts to do so has resulted in my only negative review.

Peter was a delight to work with and I learnt many lessons that went beyond the realms of romantic relationships. He helped me get to the heart of how I’ve let my childhood experiences colour how I’ve been relating to the world. I’ve made a number of changes as a result of the 7 - week course, have found new levels of happiness and have started to fall in love with my life as it is right now. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is serious about making a commitment to a more loving, vibrant and fulfilled life with or without a partner. More...

I say this wholeheartedly, Peter is such an amazing human being!. 'My' journey into the next phase of life was 'our' journey together. . Peter always approached our sessions from a non judgemental view point and showed understanding and compassion throughout.. Peter has the gift of knowing what questions to ask and when it's appropriate to 'dig' a little deeper.. He also knows how to pull you back from a 'tangent' and bring you back (very respectfully) to the issues at hand.. Peter has helped me immensely over our time working together and I can safely say that I've embraced every moment, and in doing so I've become the best version of 'me'.. Thank-you Peter, thank-you.... More...

When realized I was in a very difficult period in my life and seeked help and support . Peter reached out to me and was very understanding of my current situation and suggested the right program that would remove me from that phase of my life. There was major transformation during the few weeks we worked together and I definitely have all the necessary tools and resources to continue on this new found path and also be a better person.

From the first conversation I knew straight away Peter was the man for me. The sessions didn’t just help me why I acted in a certain way but Peter gave me tangible methods to work on temper and aggression. My family, work colleagues and friends have notice a massive change in behavior but more importantly I feel a differences. I would 1000% recommend to work with Peter. He accommodates my work schedule, understand I feel and genuinely cares about your well being. I could literally go on but honestly Peter you have made a massive difference in my life and I will be recommending you to all my friends and colleagues. God bless you!!! More...

Peter has helped me a lot. He has a great understanding of relationships and how to create lasting and healthy ones. He is very empathic and comes from a very genuine and warm heart. You feel he really cares about you and he clearly puts a lot of his now energy and time into helping his clients...this was certainly the case with me. I think its that genuine caring and real attention that is a large part of why he's so helpful. He certainly not a person who just 'goes through the motions'. I did the Katherine Woodward 'Calling in the One' coaching with Peter and found the weeks sometimes quite challenging but in a good way. Made me stop and think...Peter I must say is gently tenacious in ensuring that you really do address issues and blocks that may be stopping you living life to the full. He gives you tools that are easy to understand and use to help you move forward. An excellent coaching experience that's helped me a lot. A very genuine man indeed. More...
Patricia
I really enjoyed my coaching sessions with Peter. He was always relaxed, attentive, supportive & thoughtful.
As we worked through the well-structured programme (CITO), Peter helped me gain some personal insights that I hadn’t previously realised & that made a lot of sense.
He also guided me into some deep emotional healing that I am very grateful for.
Gaining clarification of my Intention for love & what I am searching for was very helpful. I also gained a lot of helpful tools and skills that I can apply into all relationships.
I felt very positive throughout & as if I am on track for meeting the man of my dreams very soon! Thank you, Peter!

Rita Struth
I am so grateful for the work Peter has done with me. Under his clear guidance I found and let go of many unconscious beliefs about relationships, love and men. Peter brought me in contact with my deepest desires and needs. I am now much nearer to my wishes and dreams than I have ever been in my life. I would never have been able to go this path alone. Many thanks to you, Peter, for your warmhearted and wise words. Rita. More...

Peter's guidance and coaching has shown me how to modify my interactions and my life for the better. If you value your life and want to get the most out of it, I can't recommend Peter highly enough! Thank you so much Peter! More...
What do you love most about your job?
I love the many 'Aha' moments with a client, the moment they can see and feel the penny drop.
Also seeing them leave completely transformed from the person they were when they arrived.
What inspired you to start your own business?
A lot of experience of not doing things the best way, led me to an enquiry of why I was doing that. A lot of studying and a number of courses (some useful, some excellent) gave me the answer. It makes sense to me to save people years of floundering and/or pain and unhappiness with the courses I offer.
Especially when they look very cheap next to the cost of the alternative.
Why should our clients choose you?
Firstly, I'm one of only half a dozen or so certified 'Conscious Uncoupling' coaches in the country, and the only male. Conscious Uncoupling is designed to save lives, in that, in or after the worst period of your life (relationship breakdown / divorce) it hands your life back to you. Not so that you can function, but thrive. I also offer two more courses, 'Calling in "The One" ' which puts you in the right place to attract attractiveness, and a unique course on how to secure a relationship. I'm excited and passionate about all three. Everyone leaves after six, eight or ten sessions transformed.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
My sessions are mainly conducted on zoom. In fact (and perhaps unlike therapy) zoom is perfect for coaching. I would have an initial free zoom meet for about 20/30 mins to get a picture of your situation. It's important to me to know I can help you, and answer any questions you might have. That said, if you're in travelling distance of West London I am more than happy to conduct the sessions in person if you prefer.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
As my sessions are mainly conducted on zoom this isn't applicable. For anyone who prefers to meet in person, I will uphold distance guidelines and as I am classed in a 'vulnerable group' I am always fully vaccinated.
Conscious Uncoupling
Created by Katherine Woodward Thomas, Conscious Uncoupling is a 5-Step programme designed to ease relationship trauma and then transform 'breakdown' into 'breakthrough' so you can look forward to a Happy-Even-After life. Valuable for anyone suffering from a relationship failure (no matter how long ago) and especially valuable if children are a part of the relationship.
Calling in "The One"
Created by Katherine Woodward Thomas, Calling in "The One' is a 7 week course designed to put you in the right place to attract the love of your life. The focus is very much on who you will need to become to have the relationship you dream about. By week 7, you are that person.
Relational Life Therapy / Couples Counselling
Relational Life Therapy (RLT) was created by a leading American in the relationship field called Terry Real. RLT differs from traditional couples counselling in a number of ways, not least is doesn't take the relational problem as 50/50, RLT takes sides, if it's 70/30 in RLT we work with that.
It is very effective in bringing couples into greater intimacy and relational health whether the problem is communication, anger, or an infidelity.
