Peter Borowiec, BACP

Peter Borowiec is a BACP counsellor working from the South of England. He focuses on people facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, grief, anger and changes in life. He also supports those dealing with relationship issues, family tensions, LGBT matters and questions of life purpose.

Peter works in a client-centred way. That means he aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk at their own pace. He listens for each person’s values and strengths and helps them find their own direction rather than giving instructions.

Over seven years in counselling roles, Peter has worked in charities and academic settings. That experience shaped how he approaches conversations about power, class and social context alongside individual concerns. He is also interested in how stories and playful activities can help people reflect and cope.

People who come for help can expect calm listening, openness and encouragement to make choices that feel right. Sessions focus on the person rather than a label, and on practical ways to use personal resources to manage difficult feelings and situations.

Peter supports those living with chronic pain, long-term illness and disability, and works with themes of guilt and shame where these come up. He aims to help people find clearer purpose and more workable ways to move forward in day-to-day life.

Client-centred approaches and online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and acceptance. The counsellor offers a supportive space and follows the person’s lead so people can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace. This approach suits concerns like anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and working through life changes.

Peter’s way of working emphasises the person rather than a set technique. Finding the right fit is a joint process, and he will work with the client to decide what feels most helpful. That might mean adjusting the pace, trying reflective conversation or using storytelling and gentle activities to open new perspectives.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or evenings. It also lets people choose an environment that helps them concentrate, and different formats can suit different needs such as shorter check-ins when time is tight. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors who use client-centred methods, can often adapt their work to an online setting to support people managing chronic illness, pain or other ongoing challenges.
