About Marzena
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience, Marzena Uphill supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family concerns, and self-esteem difficulties. She also works with issues around intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, career pressures and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Polish and can address a wide range of related concerns such as attachment difficulties, abandonment, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress.
Marzena uses a mix of therapeutic approaches to suit what each person brings. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside attachment-based and client-centred ideas. She also brings existential perspectives when people are wrestling with meaning, loss or major life transitions.
In practical terms she works through the problems people describe and helps them build clearer self-awareness and coping strategies. Conversations focus on identifying patterns, exploring past relationships that still affect current feelings, and trying small changes to see what helps. The aim is to increase self-esteem, confidence and everyday coping skills.
Her way of working treats the client as the expert in their own story and treats strengths as starting points for change. Sessions may involve noticing thoughts and behaviours, practising new responses, and talking through difficult memories to reduce their hold on day-to-day life. Those interested should confirm current session formats before booking.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, with cost varying by location.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings, clarifying personal values, and taking small actions that matter. It can help with anxiety, low mood and life changes by encouraging practical steps aligned with what matters to someone. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and actions and introduces practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which suits problems like anxiety, depression and sleep issues. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand and change repetitive ways of relating that cause distress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through a person’s goals, preferences and life context and will adapt methods where needed. Sessions can mix techniques so the work stays practical and focused on what the client wants to address.
Confirm the session formats before booking as current options are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life because they reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and can be easier to schedule around work or caring responsibilities. Registered or accredited professionals use their clinical approaches to help people make incremental changes and manage everyday challenges through remote consultations.
