About Marzena

Marzena Uphill is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. She supports those coping with relationship and family difficulties, body image and eating concerns, parenting strain, career changes and issues around intimacy. Marzena works in English and Polish and practises from the United Kingdom.

Her style is warm and collaborative. She encourages people to talk through what matters to them and to build practical coping skills.

Background and approach

Marzena sees clients as the experts on their own lives and focuses on strengths as well as difficulties. Marzena uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. She draws on Jungian ideas about meaning and symbols, attachment-based thinking about relationships, and evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

These are woven together to help with anxiety, low mood and trauma-related problems. Sessions typically involve talking, reflecting on patterns, and trying out new ways of handling difficult feelings and situations. She emphasises small, manageable steps - for example learning to notice thoughts, practising grounding strategies, or experimenting with changes in communication.

With five years of professional experience and BACP accreditation, Marzena aims to offer a steady, respectful space for change. If you are thinking about counselling, she invites you to take a first step and explore what kind of support might help.

Approaches Marzena names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Approaches that suit online counselling

Jungian therapy focuses on meaning, symbols and inner imagery to help people understand deeper patterns in their life. It can be useful for those feeling stuck, searching for personal meaning, or working through long-standing themes.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches people to notice thoughts and feelings without fighting them and to take committed action toward valued goals. It is often used for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current ways of relating to others and to oneself. This can help with intimacy, trust, abandonment concerns and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marzena will discuss goals and preferences and use methods that fit the person in front of her. The process is collaborative, with options adjusted as needs change.

Online formats offer practical benefits for many people. Video calls let you see facial cues and have a fuller conversation, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caregiving or travel.
