About Peter

Peter Borowiec is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He helps people experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, anger, and questions about self-esteem or life purpose. He also supports those facing chronic pain, long-term illness or disability, and feelings of guilt or shame.

His approach is rooted in Client-Centred Therapy. That means he aims to offer a warm, non-judgemental space where people can speak at their own pace.

02

How Peter works

He listens without directing the story and treats each person as the expert on their life. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual. He encourages people to notice their own strengths and to make choices that feel right for them.

Conversations can cover everyday pressures, identity and LGBT concerns, or bigger questions about meaning and change. Peter has seven years of experience across charities and academic settings. His background gives him familiarity with common mental health struggles and with the practical impact of social pressures and power differences.

People who choose this style often appreciate a gentle, patient rhythm in sessions. The work is collaborative and paced by the client, rather than following a strict set of tasks. Peter aims to help people find clearer direction, steadier mood, and more constructive ways to cope.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Practical arrangements and costs vary with location and subscription details.

Online support options

Client-Centred support delivered online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing a warm, accepting space where the client leads the conversation. The therapist listens deeply and reflects what is said, helping people understand their feelings and decisions. This approach suits mood concerns, anxiety, identity questions and life transitions.

Because the method is collaborative, the therapist works with the person to decide how sessions should run. Together they will explore what feels most helpful and adjust the approach over time. The goal is to find ways of working that match the client’s needs, goals and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging to suit different circumstances. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for quieter audio-only conversations. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit shorter check-ins, quick reflections or people who find typing easier than speaking.

These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and to keep continuity over time. Registered or accredited professionals provide online sessions, and the format can be changed as needs evolve during the course of therapy.

A practical next step

Write down two things you would want to be different in six months. That is the most useful thing to bring to a first session, whoever it is with. If you would rather start now than keep reading, online sessions are the quickest route.
