About Marzena
Marzena Uphill is a counsellor who works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. She also supports those struggling with self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, eating or sleeping difficulties, and parenting or career concerns. She speaks English and Polish and practises in the United Kingdom.
Marzena aims to help people understand themselves better and build coping strategies. She believes clients are the experts in their own story and brings a respectful, non-judgemental presence to sessions. Her approach emphasises supporting clients to develop self-awareness, self-esteem and confidence.
Over five years of experience inform her work, and she draws on several therapeutic ideas to shape sessions. Conversations may look at current difficulties and how past relationships influence feelings and behaviour. Practical tools can be introduced when clients want to try new ways of managing strong emotions or recurring patterns.
She uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside other approaches such as cognitive behavioural ideas, acceptance and commitment perspectives, attachment-focused thinking and existential questions. That mix allows sessions to be tailored to each person’s needs and goals. Marzena describes therapy as challenging but often inspiring and life changing.
People who choose to work with her can expect a calm, supportive atmosphere and a focus on strengths as well as difficulties. She encourages small steps and practical changes alongside deeper reflection, and she aims to help clients move towards greater clarity and wellbeing.
How client-centred and ACT ideas work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping the person lead the session. Online work can use that same attitude - the counsellor listens deeply and follows what matters to the client, helping them make sense of feelings and choices.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them, and choosing actions that match personal values. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes by teaching small, practical steps to move forward.
Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Talking about these patterns online can highlight repeated cycles in relationships and help plan different ways of relating and communicating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs and goals and try methods that fit their preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus more on acceptance, practical skills, exploring attachment patterns or a person-centred listening stance.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as options are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in when needed. It also allows people to join from a familiar setting while still getting structured, therapeutic support.
