Marzena Uphill

Marzena Uphill is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and relationship difficulties. She supports those dealing with trauma, low self-esteem, depression and challenges around intimacy and family life. Marzena also works with people coping with illness, caregiving strain, fertility concerns and the emotional impact of cancer.

Her approach treats each person as the expert on their own life. She aims to boost self-awareness and build practical coping strategies. Sessions focus on exploring what matters to the client and finding steps they can try between meetings.

Marzena draws on a mix of therapies to match the person in front of her. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) features when practical thinking and behaviour changes are helpful.

Attachment-based and client-centred ideas shape how she creates a supportive space. These help with relationship patterns, abandonment issues and building self-trust. Existential perspectives are available for people wrestling with life purpose, meaning or large life changes.

She has five years of professional experience and holds BACP as a credential. Marzena offers sessions in English and Polish and is based in the United Kingdom. If you are considering counselling she asks you to begin by using the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify their core values and take small, manageable steps that match what matters most to them. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and finding direction during life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, often helping with anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative effort. The therapist will work with you to choose which methods fit your goals and preferences, and may combine approaches as needs shift over time. You are invited to discuss what feels most relevant and to adjust the plan as you progress.

Confirm the session formats available before booking so you know how meetings will be held. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and medical commitments and may reduce travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins when a brief update is needed and can support continuity of care if circumstances change. Registered or accredited professionals can use these flexible options to focus on emotionally charged topics, practical skills and planning next steps without asking you to rearrange large parts of your day.
