About Peter

Peter Borowiec works with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns using a Person-Centred approach. He is BACP registered and has seven years' experience working in charities and academic settings across the South of England.

Peter offers a counselling style that avoids judgement and direction. He focuses on listening carefully and helping people talk through their feelings at a pace they find comfortable. Sessions emphasise the client's own resources and perspectives rather than imposing solutions.

His practice includes support for people exploring identity and LGBT issues, coping with life changes, and managing anger or family conflict. He also works with those facing chronic pain, illness or disability, and with feelings of guilt, shame or questions about life purpose.

In session Peter may use talking, storytelling and playful techniques drawn from his interest in games to help people articulate thoughts and try new ways of relating to themselves. The person-centred stance remains central: the client sets the focus and direction of the work.

Peter has worked in a range of settings over seven years, including third sector organisations and higher education. He combines that experience with the Person-Centred Therapy model to support people who want to understand their feelings and make changes in their daily lives.

How Peter uses Person-Centred work online

Peter mainly practises Person-Centred Therapy, which means the counsellor listens without directing and helps people find their own way of understanding feelings. This approach can suit issues like low mood, anxiety, identity questions and coping with life changes because it focuses on the person's experience and perspective.

He is interested in using storytelling and conversational techniques alongside the person-centred stance to help people describe difficult feelings and try new perspectives. These methods can help with shame, guilt, relationship concerns and long-term conditions by making thoughts easier to name and discuss.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Peter will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adjust the way sessions are organised so they fit the individual's needs. This is a collaborative process where therapist and client agree what to focus on.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting counselling around work and family commitments and reducing travel time. If you need specific session formats, please confirm the current options before booking as formats are not listed in this profile.
