Peter Borowiec , BACP

Peter Borowiec is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the South of England with seven years of experience working across charities and academic settings. He practices from a person-centred perspective, offering a nonjudgmental and accepting space where clients can explore thoughts, emotions, and life challenges at their own pace. BACP indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and therapists in the UK.

Peter’s approach emphasises respect for the client as the expert on their own life, and he aims to support people in accessing their own resources for growth and change rather than directing outcomes. While he works with the person rather than defining them by a single issue, he has a particular interest in mental health and depression and often explores how factors such as power, class, and politics shape personal experience. He also enjoys incorporating narrative elements, including stories and games, to help clients make sense of their lives and experiment with new perspectives.

His practice addresses a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, family matters, grief, anger, coping with life changes, and issues related to chronic pain, illness, and disability. Peter also works with themes of guilt, shame, and questions of life purpose, supporting clients toward clearer understanding and self-directed progress.

Client-Centred Therapy and Online Support

Client-centred therapy focuses on creating a warm, accepting environment in which the client’s own perspective and pace guide the work. The therapist offers empathy, genuine regard, and active listening so individuals can explore feelings, uncover strengths, and make choices that feel right for them. This approach is well suited to issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Alongside the person-centred stance, Peter often explores clients' personal narratives and how those stories shape identity and behaviour. Working with stories can open up new ways of understanding recurring patterns, while gentle experimentation helps people try out different responses to long-standing challenges, including coping with chronic pain, illness, or questions of life purpose.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and will be explored collaboratively. The therapist will work with the client to identify which methods and pace feel most helpful, taking into account needs, goals, and personal preferences. Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to receive support from wherever the client is located within the same country.
