About Marcin
Marcin Maciejewski is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional practice and over ten years working in related therapeutic settings. He has around 3,000 hours of direct clinical work and further experience in academic mentoring, hospice care and institutional support. He helps people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and coping with major life changes, including patterns linked to codependency.
He describes common themes he sees: abandonment, attachment concerns, family of origin difficulties, communication problems and the emotional fallout from domestic violence or separation. He also works with issues connected to body image, eating and food-related problems, caregiving stress and chronic illness, including cancer-related distress.
Marcin combines several evidence-based techniques with person-centred, existential and Gestalt ideas. In practice he focuses on building trust and clear communication so practical tools can be used between sessions. He often introduces worksheets, mood charts, journalling and mindfulness alongside creative or movement-based exercises.
Sessions may include genograms to map family patterns, guided embodiment work and expressive art activities when they suit the person. He emphasises collaboration about which tools to try and adapts the mix over time as needs change.
He maintains ongoing professional oversight through two supervisors and peer groups in his Gestalt community. He aims to respond to routine messages in the morning or around mid-day, and negotiates session frequency with each person rather than imposing a fixed plan.
How sessions work
How therapeutic methods translate to online work
Marcin uses approaches that focus on how people relate and make meaning. Person-centred work concentrates on listening, reflecting and following what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs time to be heard and to clarify their own priorities.Existential approaches look at life choices, responsibility and the feelings that come with big changes. They can help with grief, loss of direction and coping with major transitions. Gestalt methods emphasise present-moment awareness and embodiment exercises, which suit people who want to notice patterns in how they think and feel in the moment.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. He works collaboratively to decide which techniques to try and adjusts them as a person’s goals and preferences become clearer. That means practical tools can be tested and reviewed together rather than imposed.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a weekday, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use exercises such as journalling, mood charts and guided mindfulness between meetings so therapeutic practice fits into everyday life.
