About Peter
Counsellor and BACP member Peter Borowiec has seven years of experience working in the South of England and the wider United Kingdom. He helps people with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief and anger. He also supports those facing relationship worries, family conflict, and life changes.
Peter uses a Person-Centred or Client-Centred approach. Sessions focus on the person's experience rather than on labels. He listens without judging and gives space for people to find their own answers. He describes the client as the expert in their life.
In practical terms Peter's sessions are conversational. He pays attention to thoughts, feelings and the stories people tell about themselves. He can discuss how chronic pain, long-term illness or disability affect mood and daily life. He also works with guilt, shame and questions about life purpose.
He has worked in charities and academic settings. That background shapes how he understands power, class and social context in people’s lives. He sometimes brings creative elements into sessions, such as discussing stories or using simple games to open up reflection.
People who come for counselling with Peter are supported to slow down, name what matters and decide on next steps. He encourages people to use their own resources when they are ready. If you want to start, check the site’s booking options and complete the short matching questionnaire.
How Peter uses Client-Centred work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own solutions. The counsellor reflects what is said, offers genuine attention and supports the person to explore feelings at their own pace. This approach is often useful for anxiety, low mood and relationship worries where people need time to make sense of their experience.In practice Peter keeps sessions conversational and person-led. He attends to the stories people bring and to how emotions show up in discussion. That can help when issues involve grief, anger, shame or the day-to-day effects of chronic illness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Peter will discuss different ways of working with you and decide together what fits your needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may change as therapy progresses.
The site notes session options on the booking pages. Please confirm current session formats before you book so you know whether sessions will be audio, video or another supported method. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caring duties or travel, and can reduce time spent commuting to appointments.
