Marzena Uphill helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, loss, trauma and relationship or family difficulties. She works with issues like low self-esteem, intimacy concerns, parenting pressures, anger and major life changes. She also supports people facing chronic illness, fertility and caregiver stress, body image worries and work-related pressures.

Her style is direct and respectful. She listens first and makes space for each person’s story. She encourages people to spot small, practical steps they can try between sessions.

Background and approach

The aim is to make daily life more manageable and build confidence to face difficult choices. Marzena draws on a mix of approaches to suit different problems. She uses cognitive behavioural ideas to look at thoughts and habits.

She brings in attachment-based thinking to understand how past relationships shape current patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and commit to actions that matter to them. She holds a BACP credential, which indicates professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Marzena has five years of experience working with adults from varied backgrounds. Sessions are offered in English and Polish, and she accepts international clients. Practical arrangements include several remote formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging.

New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then booking sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

Therapeutic approaches in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them. It helps clarify what matters most and encourages small committed actions that match those values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and trust. It helps people understand why they may react strongly in close relationships and develop new ways of connecting and managing conflict.

Finding the right approach is something the therapist will do together with the client. Marzena will talk through goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before, then suggest techniques drawn from different approaches to fit the person’s needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues while meeting from different locations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can feel less formal. Live chat or text-based messaging suits short check-ins, people who prefer writing, or tight schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel.
