Marzena Uphill, BACP

Marzena Uphill is a licensed therapist in the United Kingdom with over five years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of challenges. She works with clients facing relationship and communication difficulties, family or work-related stress, loss and bereavement, anxiety, depression and childhood trauma, helping them build greater self-awareness, self-esteem, self-confidence and practical coping strategies.

Marzena views each person as the expert of their own story and looks for existing strengths that can be brought into the therapeutic process. She emphasises the courage involved in seeking change and aims to support and empower clients as they take steps toward a more fulfilling life. While therapy can be emotionally demanding, she believes it can also be inspiring and transformative.

In her practice she integrates a variety of theories, including holistic and psychodynamic approaches, attending to how present difficulties can be influenced by unconscious motivations and past relationships. Marzena holds BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and welcomes clients who are ready to begin their work toward change and recovery.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Marzena works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT encourages clients to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying personal values to guide meaningful actions; it can be helpful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy - this approach looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect current connections, making it useful for relationship difficulties, abandonment or attachment concerns. In addition she practices Client-Centered Therapy - a person-focused approach that prioritises empathy, active listening and collaboration to strengthen self-understanding and self-worth, often supporting those facing depression, low self-esteem or grief.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Marzena collaborates with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the work over time so therapy feels relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives and to reach people who live at a distance or have mobility or scheduling constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists regardless of location.
