Peter Borowiec
Person-Centred counsellor for life challenges
About Peter
Peter Borowiec is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, anger and relationship or family difficulties. He also helps people coping with life changes, chronic pain, illness or disability, and those wrestling with guilt, shame or questions about life purpose. His style aims to be warm, non-judgemental and straightforward.
He works using a Person-Centred approach that keeps the client in the lead.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters to the person and move at a pace that suits them. Peter offers space to talk things through, to make sense of difficult feelings, and to notice personal strengths that can be used in everyday life. Peter has seven years of experience across charities and academic settings.
His background means he is familiar with common mental health concerns and the practical pressures people bring to counselling. He draws on that experience to keep conversations grounded and relevant to daily life. He is particularly interested in how stories and play can help people reframe their situation, and he is comfortable discussing how power, class and political themes affect mental health.
Those themes sometimes appear alongside grief, depression or relationship worries in sessions. People come to him for clear, compassionate listening and help to find their own way forward. He encourages clients to use their inside resources and supports them as they try out different choices and steps.

How Person-Centred counselling works online
Person-Centred Therapy centres the person's own perspective and pace. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the person explore thoughts and feelings. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem and life transitions because it focuses on the person's experience rather than labels. In practice Peter uses that same listening-focused style online. He supports people to notice their strengths and to try small changes between sessions. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process and he will work with each individual to decide what feels most helpful given their goals and preferences. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer typing or want more frequent, brief check-ins. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, childcare and health issues, and they increase flexibility when travel or mobility are a concern.| Session length | Typically 50 minutes |
