About Milena
Milena Marcinek is a BACP-registered psychotherapeutic counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, family problems and ADHD. Milena also supports people concerned about codependency, attachment and relationship patterns that leave them putting others first.
Milena uses a humanistic integrative style. She draws on client-centred work to focus on what matters to the person in the room. She brings in mindfulness practices to help with overwhelming thoughts and somatic techniques when the body holds emotional tension.
Sessions are practical and conversational. Milena helps clients notice patterns such as people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, or repeated feelings of abandonment. She supports people to name those patterns and try small, manageable changes between sessions.
When trauma is part of the story, she uses trauma-focused ideas alongside somatic work to address how past experiences shape current reactions. The approach is steady and paced to what each person can manage.
Milena offers therapy in English and Polish and accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
She aims to help people build clearer boundaries, stronger self-awareness and more choice around relationships and daily demands. If someone is unsure where to start, Milena will discuss options and practical next steps in an initial meeting.
How sessions work
Approaches used online and practical session notes
Client-centred therapy focuses on understanding what matters to the client and following their agenda. Online sessions that use this approach tend to be conversational, with the therapist reflecting what comes up and helping the person clarify their priorities.Mindfulness therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and increase calm. These techniques can be practised during sessions and given as short exercises to try between meetings, which can help with anxiety and stress.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how a person responds during early sessions. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as understanding grows.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use online meetings to help people keep therapy consistent alongside work and family commitments.
