About Marzena
Marzena Uphill helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports those struggling with sleep or eating issues, parenting strains, career uncertainty and coping with major life changes. Marzena works in English and Polish and practises from the United Kingdom.
Her style is collaborative and person-centred. She treats the person, not just the problem, and listens for strengths people can use.
How Marzena works
Sessions tend to focus on building practical coping strategies alongside clearer self-understanding. Marzena draws on several well-known approaches to match the work to each person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people commit to valued action, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot and change unhelpful thinking, and Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early patterns affect current relationships.
She also uses client-centred and existential perspectives when they fit the situation. Her background includes five years of professional practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is shown as BACP in her credentials.
In sessions she aims to create straightforward goals and small steps. People commonly leave with clearer priorities, new coping skills and a better sense of direction. Marzena supports international clients and offers a range of online session formats to fit different needs.

Online support options
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that matter to them. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and problems that come from feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and works on changing patterns that keep distress going; it suits worries, depression and sleep or eating difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current connections and can help with intimacy, communication and trust issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to current needs, goals and personal preferences and then suggest ways of working together. That decision is made collaboratively and can change over time as progress is reviewed.
Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging works for brief check-ins and people who prefer not to be on camera. These options offer flexibility for those who travel, have irregular schedules or need shorter check-ins during a workday.
