About Milena

Milena Marcinek is a BACP-registered psychotherapeutic counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and family-related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Polish and she accepts international clients.

Her approach draws on several methods so the work fits each person's needs. She uses client-centred principles to prioritise the person's voice. Mindfulness techniques are used to help manage anxious thoughts and to build moment-to-moment awareness. Somatic work attends to bodily responses to stress and trauma.

In practical terms she supports people who struggle with concentration, motivation and confidence. She also works with those affected by attachment or abandonment wounds, codependency, control issues and tangled family dynamics. Other areas she addresses include body image, impulsivity, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.

Milena has experience with trauma-focused approaches for people who have experienced childhood trauma. She also offers help around self-harm and suicidal thinking, with a focus on immediate coping and safety planning within sessions. The emphasis is on clear, step-by-step work rather than abstract theory.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Confirm current session options before booking to ensure the format fits practical needs.

Therapeutic approaches used in online work

Milena uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep the person's perspective central, allowing sessions to follow what matters most to them. This approach helps when people need a calm, steady space to talk through worries, family conflict or low self-worth.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. These techniques help reduce reactivity to anxious thoughts and support clearer thinking during stressful moments. Somatic Therapy is used alongside these methods to notice how the body holds tension and to introduce grounding moves that ease physical stress responses.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together with the client which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning means sessions can shift over time as needs change.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it possible to work with a registered BACP professional from another country while keeping sessions practical and focused on everyday problems.
