Marcin Maciejewski, BACP

Marcin Maciejewski is a UK-based counsellor with five years of professional practice and more than a decade of experience in related therapeutic settings. He is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings roughly 3,000 hours of direct client work alongside over twice that amount of time supporting people in academic mentoring, institutional care and hospice environments.

Marcin works with a wide range of concerns including depression, trauma and complex PTSD, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, loneliness and social anxiety, body image and eating-related issues, and the effects of narcissistic or domestic abuse. He also supports people facing attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care challenges, caregiving stress, dissociation, sensory loss and learning differences, and the interpersonal effects of cancer and chronic illness.

His practice integrates several therapeutic approaches - person-centred, existential, MCBT, Focusing, Intersubjectivity and Gestalt - with an emphasis on the quality of the relationship as the core vehicle for change. In collaboration with each client he uses practical tools such as worksheets, mood charts, journalling, mindfulness practice, genograms, movement and embodiment, and creative expression to help translate insight into everyday coping skills.

Marcin values ongoing professional development and receives guidance from two separate supervisors and peer support within a Gestalt training community. He typically negotiates regular weekly sessions but adapts pacing to individual needs, and communicates with clients between sessions during set morning and mid-day times while responding to urgent matters when feasible. His own experience of therapy informs a compassionate, grounded approach that aims to make initial steps easier for people seeking change.

Therapeutic Approaches and the Benefits of Online Care

Marcin commonly draws on person-centred practice, which focuses on creating a warm, non-judgemental relationship so clients can explore their own values and solutions, often helping with depression, grief and relationship concerns. He also uses MCBT, an approach that combines cognitive techniques with mindful awareness to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and develop more balanced responses to stress and trauma. Gestalt work is another strand of his practice - it emphasises present-moment experience, body awareness and practical experiments that can illuminate how patterns show up in daily life and relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy itself. Marcin works collaboratively with each client and with licensed professionals as needed to identify which methods best match a person’s needs, goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Marcin is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care when circumstances change, while allowing the therapeutic relationship to remain the central element of support.
