About Piotr

Piotr Slaczka is a BACP counsellor with ten years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. He welcomes people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and addictions, and those facing relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Piotr also supports people dealing with grief, parenting strain, sleep and eating issues, and challenges around self-esteem and life changes.

He draws on a range of therapeutic approaches to match each person's needs. Sessions are tailored with practical conversation and reflection, and he aims to help people identify small, manageable steps they can try between meetings. Piotr places emphasis on understanding attachment patterns, values, and how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going.

Piotr works in English and Polish and is open to working with international clients. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - which is noted as his professional credential. This background informs his work but he adapts methods to each person's situation.

People who come to him can expect a calm, respectful setting where the focus is on what matters most to them. He will listen, reflect, and offer approaches such as cognitive techniques, acceptance-based ideas and client-centred conversation. Together they aim to clarify goals and find practical ways forward.

How Piotr uses different approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thinking and reconnect with what matters to them. It is often used for anxiety, stress and life changes by focusing on values and small committed actions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and closeness. This can help when people struggle with trust, abandonment fears or repeating difficult relationship patterns. Client-Centred Therapy creates space for a person to talk at their own pace while the counsellor listens without judgement, helping people feel heard and better able to find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. Piotr will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit those aims. He adapts ideas from different approaches rather than using a single method, so the work can change as needs change.

If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking so you know what is offered. Online working can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits. It also makes it possible to access support across borders, which is helpful for international clients. The therapist will discuss how to structure sessions to match daily life and practical constraints.
