Piotr Slaczka, BACP

Piotr Slaczka draws on a decade of clinical experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression and addictions. He works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in both English and Polish. Piotr holds BACP accreditation and uses a flexible style shaped by several well-known therapeutic approaches.

Piotr adapts each session to the person in front of him. He listens first and then helps set clear, achievable goals. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and on practical steps to get there. Simple tools and reflective conversation are combined depending on the issue.

Common concerns he addresses include relationship and intimacy difficulties, grief and loss, parenting strain, career stress and coping with life changes. He also works with people facing addiction, eating and sleeping problems, bipolar disorder and compassion fatigue. Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment wounds, body image, chronic illness and family of origin problems.

Piotr uses elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based work and client-centred practice. He will tailor techniques to the person rather than follow a rigid script. The aim is to increase self-awareness, build coping skills and help clients move towards the life they value.

Practicalities are straightforward. Sessions can be by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. International clients may be seen. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session that suits the client.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Piotr commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy as part of his online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values while learning to sit with difficult feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships and aims to rebuild trust and emotional safety in close relationships.

He also uses client-centred methods that prioritise the person's own pace and perspective, offering space to be heard without pressure. Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt techniques as therapy progresses.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation while saving travel time. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or when a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins, written reflections or when a shorter, more frequent contact suits someone. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on progress and accessible support.
