Piotr Slaczka, BACP

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts without fighting them and then commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, works on the connection between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and helps people test and change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression and some addictive behaviours. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect current bonds and intimacy; it can help with abandonment issues, attachment difficulties and relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Piotr will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. He adapts techniques as therapy progresses and checks in about what is helping and what needs to change.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low, and messaging formats can suit shorter check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options help people fit therapy around work, family life and travel while keeping continuity of care.
