Peter Borowiec, BACP

Peter Borowiec helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and bereavement. He also supports those coping with life changes, relationship strain, family difficulties, anger, LGBT concerns, and long-term illness or pain. Peter is a BACP counsellor working from the South of England and writes plainly about making space to talk and think.

He uses a Person-Centred approach. That means sessions aim to be warm and non-judgemental. Peter lets people lead the conversation and follows what matters most to them. He focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people notice their own strengths.

Peter has seven years' experience across charities and academic settings. He is especially interested in mood difficulties such as depression, and in how social issues around power and class shape life experience. He also notices how guilt, shame and questions of life purpose can show up in everyday decisions.

In practice he pays attention to the stories people bring and sometimes uses creative ideas, including play or games, to open new ways of understanding. Sessions are paced to each person's needs so people can move at their own speed.

Peter works in English and based in the United Kingdom. If you want a straightforward, accepting space to talk through difficult feelings, he aims to help people find their own direction and next steps.

Person-Centred care and online counselling

Person-Centred Therapy focuses on empathic listening and respect for the person's experience. The counsellor offers acceptance and mirrors back what is said so people can better understand their feelings and choices. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and navigating major life changes.

Peter places emphasis on following the client's lead rather than directing them. That means he works with each person to decide what feels most useful, and together they check whether the approach is helping. Finding the right fit is part of the process and is shaped by your goals, preferences and how you respond in early sessions.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and for conversations without needing to be on camera if that feels better. Registered or accredited professionals often offer these flexible ways to meet so therapy can slot into everyday life.
