Marzena Uphill

Marzena Uphill helps people who are struggling with anger, stress, anxiety, loss and relationship strain. She uses straightforward conversation to help clients build self-awareness, improve self-esteem and develop coping strategies for day-to-day life. Marzena works in English and Polish and practises in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).

Marzena sees anxiety, depression, trauma and family issues as problems that affect how people feel and relate to others. She talks with clients about what matters to them now and how past experiences shape current patterns. Sessions aim to make difficult feelings easier to understand and less overwhelming.

Her approach draws on several therapies. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages practical steps aligned with personal values. Attachment-based ideas look at how early bonds affect trust and closeness. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours.

Marzena seeks to create a calm, respectful space where people feel heard and noticed. She believes clients are the experts in their own lives and supports them to find the changes they want. Therapy is presented as a step-by-step process rather than a quick fix.

With five years of professional experience, Marzena works with a wide range of life challenges including grief, parenting strain, body image concerns, chronic illness and career transitions. She encourages small, realistic steps that fit everyday life.

How Marzena’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small, meaningful steps towards those values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and managing strong emotions such as anger. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence how people connect and trust others; it can help when relationship patterns or intimacy concerns cause ongoing distress. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and understanding from the counsellor so the client feels heard and can make their own choices about change.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Marzena will discuss how these methods might help and will tailor sessions to the client’s goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online appointments can make it easier to attend during a lunch break or between commitments and allow continuity if someone moves. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the exact options available before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often offer flexible arrangements to help therapy fit into everyday life.
