About Marzena
Marzena Uphill is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of practice. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship concerns, and she lists life purpose among her areas of focus.
She helps people who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships or health. She talks through practical ways to build self-esteem, confidence and coping strategies. Sessions aim to increase self-awareness and to clarify what matters to the individual.
Her approach draws on several therapies. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. Attachment-based ideas look at how past relationships shape current patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help people notice difficult feelings while choosing actions that match their values.
Marzena also integrates client-centred and existential ideas, encouraging people to reflect on meaning and personal choices. She explains things plainly and focuses on steps clients can try between sessions. Language support is available in English and Polish.
She lists a wide range of concerns including intimacy-related issues, parenting stresses, body image, caregiving strain, chronic illness and career change. People who want a practical conversation about what to try next may find her style useful. To begin, follow the site's matching and booking steps to schedule an initial session.
Approach choices and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that reflect their values. It is often used when someone wants to move forward despite worry or low mood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practising different responses, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present patterns and can help with intimacy, communication and relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss which methods fit a person's goals and preferences and will adapt techniques as the sessions progress. This is a collaborative process that aims to test what helps in day-to-day life rather than prescribing a single method from the start.
The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals including counsellors can use different approaches online, and the therapist will help match the practical format to what the client needs.
