Peter Borowiec, BACP

Peter Borowiec is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the South of England, offering a warm and non-directive person-centred practice. With seven years' experience in a variety of settings including charities and academia, he creates a supportive atmosphere where people can explore their thoughts and emotions at their own pace. Peter works from the belief that each person is the expert on their own life, and he focuses on helping clients access their own resources to move toward the changes they want to make.

His person-centred stance means he works with the whole person rather than defining someone solely by a particular issue. He maintains a strong interest in mental health concerns such as depression, as well as broader questions about power, class, and politics that can shape a person's experience. Peter also enjoys incorporating stories and playful methods, including games, into the therapeutic process when they help people find new perspectives.

Peter’s practice is informed by his BACP registration - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates membership of a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. He offers care for people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, grief, anger, life transitions, chronic pain or illness, and questions about life purpose, with particular attention to LGBT needs.

Person-Centred Care and Online Therapy

Client-Centred Therapy is the foundation of Peter's practice. It focuses on providing an accepting, non-judgemental space where the therapist listens attentively and reflects what is heard, helping the client to explore feelings and make sense of their experience. This approach can be especially helpful for people facing depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and questions about identity or life purpose.

Alongside a person-centred stance, Peter often uses creative, exploratory methods such as working with personal stories and playful exercises when these techniques support reflection and discovery. These methods can open new ways of understanding challenges and rehearsing different responses to difficult situations.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Peter will work with each person to identify what feels most useful based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting methods over time to suit the client. Online therapy offers practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or mobility needs. For many people, these options increase accessibility and allow consistent engagement with a registered professional who can support progress from wherever they are.
