Milena Marcinek, BACP

Milena Marcinek welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxious thoughts, low self-esteem or depressive moods. She supports individuals who want to understand patterns in their relationships and family life, or who are managing attention and focus difficulties like ADHD. Milena speaks English and Polish and practises in the United Kingdom.

She uses a person-centred stance that puts the client’s experience first. That means conversations focus on what matters to the person in front of her, not on a rigid method. Milena also draws on mindfulness exercises to help ground attention and somatic work to connect feelings with bodily experience.

Her work often involves talking through past hurts, attachment wounds and experiences of abandonment. She helps people notice how their past shapes current choices and relationships, and supports exploring forgiveness, guilt and shame when those themes arise.

Milena has three years of professional experience and is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She meets people with care and without judgement, aiming to build a steady therapeutic alliance rather than rush to solutions.

Practical sessions mix discussion with exercises you can use between meetings. Milena encourages pacing the work to match each person’s readiness and to try small, manageable steps toward change. To begin, clients choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.

How Milena’s approaches work online

Milena commonly blends client-centred work with mindfulness and somatic approaches. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what the client brings to each session, which helps people feel understood and able to open up. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce rumination and manage stress in daily life. Somatic Therapy links emotions with bodily sensations, encouraging awareness of how tension or numbness shows up in the body and offering gentle ways to release it.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Milena will discuss your needs and goals and try methods that fit your preferences and pace. If something feels unhelpful, she will adapt the plan so the work stays comfortable and useful.

The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and making it easier to schedule short check-ins or regular sessions around work and family commitments. It also lets people use mindfulness and somatic exercises in the context of their everyday environment, which can make practice more practical and immediate.
