Peter Borowiec, BACP

Peter Borowiec is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. He works with issues around relationships, grief, anger and life changes, and offers support for LGBT concerns and people living with chronic pain, illness or disability. His approach is gentle and respectful, aimed at helping each person find their own way forward.

Peter follows a client-centred style of counselling that focuses on listening and acceptance. He avoids directing people and instead offers space to talk through thoughts and feelings at a comfortable pace. Sessions aim to help people recognise their own resources and make choices that suit them.

Across seven years of practice, Peter has worked in charities and academic settings. He draws on that varied background to offer grounded, practical support rather than jargon-filled therapy. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often abbreviated to BACP.

In sessions he pays attention to the stories people tell about themselves and the social forces that shape those stories, such as class and power. He also brings creative elements like narrative work and playful exercises when they feel helpful. The focus is on what matters to the person in front of him.

People who choose Peter can expect an open, non-judgemental space to explore goals and concerns. He encourages self-directed growth and works at a pace set by the client. Practical steps and reflective conversation are balanced according to each person’s needs.

Client-centred care online and how it helps

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on warm, non-judgemental listening and supporting people to find their own answers. The counsellor offers acceptance, reflection and questions that help the client understand feelings and values, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes.

Peter also uses narrative ideas and occasional creative exercises when they fit the person’s style. These approaches invite clients to look at the stories they tell about themselves and experiment with small changes, which can help with issues like shame, purpose and coping with chronic illness.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. He will work with the client to shape sessions around their goals and preferences, adjusting pace and methods as needed. That collaborative stance helps ensure the therapy matches what the person wants to work on.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit different routines. Video calls are good for a more face-to-face feel, phone sessions suit a quieter or lower-bandwidth option, and messaging can work for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to maintain regular sessions while juggling work, family or health needs.
