About Marzena
Marzena Uphill helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, loss and trauma.

She also works with people navigating fertility, chronic illness, caring roles, and issues connected to LGBT identity.
Marzena uses straightforward, person-focused counselling. She listens first and helps people make sense of what matters to them.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to build self-awareness, self-esteem and practical coping strategies that fit everyday life. Her style draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and increase flexibility in how people respond to stress. Attachment-based and client-centred ideas shape how she talks about early relationships, closeness and trust.
She brings five years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy entry noted in her credentials. Marzena offers sessions in English and Polish and is based in the United Kingdom. People who start with her can expect a collaborative process.
She emphasises strengths and practical steps, while also making space for emotion and reflection. If you want to explore whether her approach suits you, follow the site’s Start Therapy process to begin a match and schedule sessions.

How her approaches work in online counselling
Marzena commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it supports taking small, value-driven actions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety or low mood.She also draws on attachment-based and client-centred ideas to understand how early relationships affect trust and closeness today. Those approaches help when relationship patterns, abandonment fears or communication problems are causing distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss your goals and preferences and try methods that fit you. The first sessions are often about getting a sense of what helps and shaping a plan collaboratively.
Session formats are not specified in her biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use a language they feel most comfortable with, such as English or Polish, without needing to change location.
