About Marzena
Marzena Uphill helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and relationship or intimacy concerns.

Marzena works in English and Polish and is based in the United Kingdom.
Her style is collaborative and respectful. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps that increase daily coping and improve self-awareness and confidence. Marzena draws on a mix of therapeutic approaches to suit each person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns.
Attachment-based ideas inform how past relationships shape current responses. She also uses client-centred and existential perspectives to keep sessions grounded in what matters most to the individual. This means listening closely, helping people make sense of difficult feelings, and working through life questions and transitions.
Marzena has five years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which is listed as BACP. She accepts international clients and asks people to confirm available session formats before they book. To start, clients follow the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to arrange sessions according to the therapist's schedule.

How Marzena works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss client goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then try methods that suit the person's needs. This is a collaborative process with regular checking in and adjustments as therapy progresses.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone choose quieter surroundings or skip being on camera when that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists who use these methods, can adapt tools and exercises to work well in remote sessions.
