Marzena Uphill, BACP

Marzena Uphill helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and low self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with relationship and family concerns, intimacy worries, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger and career changes. Marzena works with issues linked to chronic illness, caregiving stress, body image, abandonment and attachment difficulties. She speaks English and Polish and practises in the United Kingdom.

Her style is warm and straightforward. She sees the person, not just the problem, and treats each conversation as a chance to build understanding and practical coping. Sessions aim to increase self-awareness, strengthen self-confidence and develop everyday strategies that can be used between meetings. Marzena encourages people to draw on their own strengths while trying out new ways of coping.

She draws on several therapy approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based methods and client-centred work. These methods get used flexibly to match what a person needs at the time, whether that is noticing patterns, changing unhelpful thoughts or exploring relationships from the past.

Marzena has five years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded as BACP. She sees work as a collaborative process and explains options in clear language. If someone is unsure what to expect she will guide them through the first steps.

To begin, a person chooses the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules according to the therapist's availability. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How Marzena uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while still choosing actions that matter to them. It can help with anxiety, depression and difficult life changes by focusing on values and small practical steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches methods to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which is useful for anxiety, sleep problems and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand and change recurring relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that fit a person's needs, goals and preferences. Decisions about which approach to use are made together and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. It can also make sessions possible when someone is living away from the therapist's local area. The original biography does not detail the exact session formats offered, so confirm which formats are available before booking. Registered or accredited professionals generally adapt methods so practical changes can be tried between sessions and discussed remotely.
