About Milena

Milena Marcinek offers calm, practical support for people feeling stuck by stress, anxiety or low self-esteem. She writes and speaks in English and Polish and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Her approach is conversational and down-to-earth so someone worried can feel understood quickly.

She draws on humanistic, client-centred ideas to keep sessions focused on each person's needs. That means the conversation follows what matters to the client, with the counsellor reflecting back what they hear and helping clarify choices.

Background and approach

Milena also uses mindfulness practices to help with anxious thoughts and somatic techniques to notice how stress shows up in the body. Across three years of practice she has worked with people experiencing depression, family tension, relationship problems and challenges around self-worth. She also supports those affected by attachment wounds, abandonment concerns and difficulties with impulsivity and control.

Milena pays attention to how past events shape present reactions and helps people develop more helpful patterns. Sessions are tailored and paced to suit each person. The work may include talking through difficult memories, learning grounding and breathing exercises, and practising new ways to communicate and set boundaries.

The aim is to build clearer thinking and calmer responses over time. Milena will discuss goals and next steps in early sessions so people know what to expect. She accepts international clients and offers online session formats in English and Polish to fit different needs.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How these approaches work in online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on the client's experience and priorities. The counsellor listens closely, mirrors what they hear and helps the person find their own answers. This approach is useful when someone wants space to be heard and to clarify what matters to them.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce worry and reactivity. It helps people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without rushing to change them, which can ease persistent anxiety and low mood.

Somatic therapy looks at how stress shows up in the body and uses gentle awareness and grounding techniques. It can be helpful for people who notice physical tension, overwhelm or difficulty settling after distressing events.

Finding the best approach is a shared process. Milena will talk with each person about goals, try methods that suit their needs, and adjust the plan as they learn what helps most. The work is collaborative and paced to the individual's comfort and preferences.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work when video is not possible, and live chat or text messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy around work, family life and different daily rhythms, while keeping the focus on progress and practical coping skills.
