About Marzena
Marzena Uphill is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has five years' experience working with people in the United Kingdom. She supports people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem issues, depression and a wide range of relationship and family concerns.
She also helps with intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger and career pressures. Additional areas she works on include abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress. Marzena lists fertility, cancer, codependency and forgiveness among other focus areas.
Her style centres on listening and helping each person make sense of what they are facing. She uses client-centred methods alongside other approaches. Sessions are intended to build self-awareness, confidence and practical coping strategies.
Marzena blends ideas from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with attachment-focused and existential perspectives. She aims to help people notice patterns, try different ways of responding and set achievable steps for change.
She offers counselling in English and Polish and is open to working with people from outside the UK. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the site. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and remote counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action towards what matters to them. It can help with anxiety, depression and issues where avoidance keeps someone stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to break unhelpful cycles. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships affect current patterns and can be useful for relationship problems and difficulties with trust or closeness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marzena discusses different methods with each person and together they decide what to try first. This collaborative process helps match techniques to someone’s goals and preferences rather than following a fixed programme.
Confirm the precise session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life by removing travel time and allowing meetings from wherever you are. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions that do not require video if that suits the person better. Registered or accredited professionals offer remote counselling and will explain the practical arrangements when you book.
