Peter Borowiec

Peter Borowiec is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression and relationship concerns. He also supports people facing grief, low self-esteem, changes in life circumstances, and challenges linked to chronic pain, illness or disability. Peter works from a person-centred stance, offering a calm and non-judgemental space to talk things through.

He spent seven years working in charities and academic settings, which shaped a practical, down-to-earth way of meeting people. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual rather than fitting someone into a label. The therapist listens closely and reflects what he hears so clients can make sense of their own experience.

In sessions Peter encourages people to draw on their own strengths and resources. He avoids telling clients what to do and instead supports them to find choices that fit their life and values. This approach can suit people coping with depression, feeling stuck after loss, or wanting clearer boundaries in relationships.

Peter is particularly interested in how stories, social context and everyday activities influence wellbeing. He is open to talking about how power, class and politics affect mental health. That can be useful for anyone wanting to connect personal problems with wider pressures.

People can expect a steady, patient style and a focus on building understanding over time. The first meetings typically explore immediate concerns and what the person hopes to change, so practical steps can follow when both feel ready.

How Peter’s Person-Centred Work Translates Online

Peter practices using a person-centred approach, which focuses on listening, empathy and reflecting back what the client says. This method helps people clarify their feelings and make decisions that fit their life, and it can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger and relationship concerns.

He places emphasis on a warm, non-judgemental stance rather than directing change. Online sessions can still offer that steady, attentive listening while allowing conversations about life circumstances, identity and personal stories to unfold at a comfortable pace.

Finding the right approach is a joint effort. Peter will work with each person to decide how to apply person-centred ways of working to their goals and preferences. That collaboration includes checking what feels helpful and adjusting the focus over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current options when booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow sessions from a quieter place when that suits. Some people prefer shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require video; others like a longer conversation. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and agree what works best for everyday life.
