Marzena Uphill , BACP

Marzena Uphill is a licensed therapist practicing in the United Kingdom with over five years of professional experience. She supports people facing a wide range of difficulties, including relationship and communication problems, family or work-related stress, loss and bereavement, anxiety, depression, and issues rooted in childhood trauma. Her work focuses on helping clients build self-awareness, strengthen self-esteem and self-confidence, and develop practical coping strategies to manage day-to-day challenges.

She approaches therapy from a collaborative, strengths-based perspective, believing that each person is the expert in their own story and already has resources to draw on. Marzena values the courage it takes to seek change and aims to empower clients as they take steps toward a more fulfilling life. While therapy can be emotionally demanding at times, she sees it as an opportunity for insight and meaningful transformation.

Her practice integrates a variety of theoretical perspectives, including holistic and psychodynamic approaches. She views many psychological difficulties as influenced by present-day patterns and by unconscious motivations or relational experiences from the past. Marzena is credentialed with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and offers support in both English and Polish. She welcomes inquiries from those ready to explore therapy and begin a process of growth and healing.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and connection

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them and focuses on taking values-based actions to live a more meaningful life - it is useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation-related struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current ways of relating and can be especially helpful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and persistent relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist listens deeply and supports the client in discovering their own solutions - this approach is well suited to building self-esteem and navigating life changes.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Marzena works collaboratively with each person to identify methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions while honoring the client’s pace and priorities so that therapy feels manageable and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call or phone, and shorter conversations can take place via live chat or text messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to maintain continuity when circumstances change, and to access licensed professionals from different locations, all while focusing on the same therapeutic goals and outcomes as in-person work.
