Peter Borowiec is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, anger and relationship concerns. He also supports people dealing with life changes, family issues, LGBT matters, chronic pain, illness and disability, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.

He uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client’s experience at the heart of the work. Peter creates a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk at their own pace.

Background and approach

He listens carefully and reflects back what he hears to help people make sense of difficult feelings. He aims to help clients draw on their own strengths and resources rather than being told what to do. With seven years of experience in charities and academic settings, Peter brings steady, practical support to sessions.

His background means he is comfortable with a range of life issues and mental health concerns, and he is interested in how social context can affect wellbeing. Sessions tend to focus on what matters most to the client in a given moment.

Peter encourages exploration through conversation and, when useful, creative methods such as stories or games to make difficult topics easier to approach. People who choose Peter can expect a calm, patient approach that respects their pace. He works in English and offers appointments through multiple online formats to suit different needs.

How Peter’s Person-Centred Approach Works Online

Peter uses Client-Centred Therapy, which centres on genuine listening and empathy. The therapist aims to reflect what the client says and help them make sense of their own thoughts and feelings. This approach is helpful for issues like anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and grief because it focuses on the person’s experience rather than labels.

In practice Peter encourages people to lead the conversation and follow the pace that suits them. He may also use storytelling or simple creative exercises when these help a person express difficult feelings. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together and he will discuss what feels most useful based on each person’s needs and goals.

Online therapy here includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people read facial expressions and tone, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging suit those who prefer typing or want shorter, more frequent check-ins. These options give flexibility so people can choose the format that best fits their life and communication style.
