About Marzena
Marzena Uphill is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, and issues such as codependency and attachment problems. She offers help with self-esteem, coping with life changes, intimacy-related worries and practical problems at work or home.
Marzena focuses on helping people build self-awareness and clearer boundaries. She uses straightforward conversations to help clients notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions often aim to strengthen confidence and everyday coping strategies rather than quick fixes.
Her approach draws on several therapies. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps unpack unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape current ways of relating.
Marzena works in English and Polish and supports international clients. She commonly helps people dealing with trauma, childhood abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and issues around fertility or bereavement. Practical topics such as sleep, eating and career stress are also part of her work.
People who meet her can expect a collaborative, conversational style. She encourages clients to identify small, manageable steps and to reflect on what helps them keep their own boundaries. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that fit their values. Online sessions using ACT typically focus on practical exercises and building willingness to try new behaviours. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses short experiments to test different ways of thinking and acting. In remote sessions CBT tools can include homework tasks and simple, structured exercises. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape present patterns in close relationships and communication. Online work can focus on recognising those patterns and practising new ways of relating in day-to-day life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work collaboratively with clients to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. That choice can shift over time as practical problems and priorities change.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can help fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments from different locations. It can also make it easier to arrange shorter check-ins, fit sessions around work hours or use audio-only conversations when video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly adapt exercises and homework for online delivery to keep the work practical and goal focused.
