About Peter
Peter Borowiec is a BACP counsellor based in the South of England. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, depression and questions about self-esteem. He also works with people concerned about relationships, family matters, grief, anger and life changes.
Peter lists LGBT among his special interests and welcomes those concerns within his practice. Peter follows a Person-Centred approach that keeps the person and their experience at the centre.
Background and approach
He listens carefully and reflects what he hears, helping people notice their own strengths and choices. Sessions aim to be straightforward and respectful rather than directive. Over seven years he has worked in charities and academic settings, bringing practical experience with a range of life challenges.
He is interested in how stories and play can help people make sense of things and try out new ways of being. Peter also pays attention to longer-term health issues, including chronic pain, illness and disability, and to feelings such as guilt and shame.
He supports people who are searching for clearer life purpose or coping with the emotional impact of ongoing conditions. People can expect a warm, patient style that encourages self-discovery. Sessions are paced according to each person's needs, and the focus is on helping individuals find their own direction rather than imposing solutions.

How a Person-Centred approach fits online counselling
Peter works from a Person-Centred perspective that focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people access their own resources. This approach means the therapist offers empathic reflection and gentle prompts rather than giving direct advice, which can help with issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and life transitions.He is interested in using stories and playfully exploring experiences, which can be adapted to an online setting through conversation and creative prompts. That practical interest can help when people want to work through longer-term issues like chronic pain, illness or feelings of guilt and shame.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, and together they will decide how to proceed. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in when needed, while still focusing on honest conversation and steady progress.
