About Marzena

Marzena Uphill works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem problems and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also helps with eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, career stress and coping with big life changes. Marzena offers support to those dealing with family problems, LGBT concerns and complex feelings like emptiness, anger or control issues.

She focuses on building self-awareness and practical coping skills. Sessions aim to help people notice patterns that cause distress and try out different ways of responding.

Background and approach

Marzena encourages clients to draw on their own strengths while she offers gentle guidance and practical tools. Her style blends several approaches to suit each person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address thoughts and behaviours.

Attachment-based and client-centred ideas help explore early relationships and strengthen the therapeutic relationship. Marzena has five years of clinical experience and works in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which she lists as BACP.

Sessions are available in English and Polish for people inside and outside the UK. People can expect a calm, straightforward approach in sessions. Marzena aims to make therapy a space to practise new habits and rebuild confidence.

She supports clients through both short-term problems and longer, deeper issues. Practical matters such as session format and scheduling are arranged directly when starting therapy. Marzena uses a collaborative process to match goals and methods to the person’s needs.

How Marzena’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, sleep problems and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marzena will talk with the client about goals, what has helped before and what hasn’t, then try approaches that fit those needs. The plan can change as progress is made, and the therapist and client decide together which tools are most useful.

Online formats offer practical benefits for many people. Video calls let the conversation follow the rhythm of a face-to-face session while fitting around work or family commitments. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier when being on camera feels difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflection and flexibility for those who prefer typing. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to practise skills between sessions.
