About Marcin
Marcin Maciejewski is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years of professional experience in counselling settings. He works with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients from the United Kingdom.
He has several thousand hours of direct helping experience and additional years in related roles such as academic mentoring and work in hospices. That background shapes how he approaches difficult feelings and practical problems. He aims to use straightforward tools people can practise between sessions, such as journalling, mood charts and mindfulness.
Marcin blends a number of evidence-based therapeutic techniques into his work, including person-centred ideas, gestalt practice and mindfulness-influenced methods. He also uses practical aids like worksheets, genograms and movement or creative expression when these suit the person. He emphasises building trust and clear communication as the basis for change.
He keeps professional oversight through two supervisors and peer support within a gestalt group. This is part of how he maintains standards and reflects on his work. Marcin says he draws on his own experience of therapy to understand what it is like to start and continue counselling.
Sessions are negotiated individually; he notes weekly meetings often help people make steady progress but frequency is agreed case by case. For an initial step, the site process asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and how online counselling works
Marcin draws on person-centred practice which focuses on listening closely and following the person’s own concerns. This approach helps when someone needs to be heard and supported to make their own choices. He also uses gestalt-informed work that pays attention to present experience and bodily awareness, useful for issues like dissociation or strong emotional responses.He aims to find the right mix of approaches together with the client. Assessment and early sessions look at a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and the therapist and client agree which methods to try. The process is collaborative and may change as work progresses.
The original biography does not list explicit session formats, so please confirm available ways of meeting before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. It also supports using digital worksheets, journalling and mood tracking between sessions to help carry learning into daily life.
