Piotr Slaczka, BACP

Piotr Slaczka is an integrative therapeutic counsellor and psychotherapist who brings ten years of professional experience to his practice in the United Kingdom. He is accredited in the UK and holds the BACP credential, reflecting membership with a recognised professional counselling body. Piotr combines advanced academic training with practical experience, holding a master’s degree in systemic psychotherapy - an advanced postgraduate qualification - an honours degree in integrative counselling - an undergraduate qualification with honours - and a diploma in humanistic counselling - a professional training qualification that emphasises person-centred care.

His approach is flexible and tailored, drawing from a range of modalities to meet the needs of each individual. He specialises in work with stress, anxiety and depression, addictions and substance use, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem difficulties, LGBT matters, family issues and grief. He also supports people with eating and sleeping problems, parenting and family-of-origin difficulties, anger and career concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue and coping with life changes, among other challenges.

Piotr aims to create a respectful and sensitive therapeutic environment where clients can explore their difficulties and build resilience. He frames therapy as a collaborative process, adapting interventions to a person’s unique goals and circumstances and supporting them toward meaningful, lasting change.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Piotr Slaczka uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients learn to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and to identify personal values that guide meaningful action - this approach can be helpful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust, which is useful for relationship difficulties, intimacy-related issues and abandonment concerns. In addition, his client-centred orientation places the client’s experience at the centre of the work, offering a respectful, empathic space to explore emotions and personal goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Piotr works collaboratively with clients and with registered professionals when appropriate to determine which methods best match a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and he adapts strategies over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Piotr is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility to fit sessions into busy lives and to access care from different locations. These options support ongoing engagement, make it easier to maintain regular sessions, and allow the therapeutic relationship to continue even when in-person meetings are not possible.
