About Marzena
Marzena Uphill is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and parenting challenges. She also supports those coping with relationship worries, intimacy issues, self-esteem concerns and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Polish and draw on five years of professional experience and a BACP registration.
Marzena works in a way that treats the person, not just the problem. She listens first and helps clients name what matters most.
Background and approach
Together they set small, practical steps that fit everyday life. That might mean practising new ways to handle stress, trying different communication approaches, or exploring unhelpful thinking patterns. Her background includes a range of therapeutic ideas.
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address thoughts and behaviours. Attachment-based and client-centred work help people understand relationship patterns and build emotional safety inside sessions. Marzena aims to make therapy approachable and relevant.
She encourages people to use their own strengths and values to guide change. Sessions can focus on coping strategies for sleep or eating, work-related stress, grief after loss, or the strain of long-term illness. People who choose her often want a thoughtful, steady guide through difficult times.
Her style is respectful and collaborative, with an emphasis on clear steps and real-world changes. If someone prefers to begin online, she offers a mix of call and messaging formats to suit different needs.

Approaches that fit online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can support those living with anxiety, stress or ongoing life changes by shifting focus toward what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and introduces practical exercises to change patterns causing distress. This approach is often used for low mood, worry, sleep and eating concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will check what feels useful and adapt methods to each person's goals and preferences. Decisions about approach are collaborative and can evolve as therapy progresses.
Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, offering flexibility for different situations. Video works well when visual cues help the conversation, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits shorter check-ins or busy schedules. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work or health commitments while keeping regular contact with a registered or accredited professional.
