Marzena Uphill , BACP

Marzena Uphill is a UK-based therapist with five years of clinical experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She works with individuals facing relationship and communication difficulties, family and work-related stress, loss and bereavement, anxiety, depression and the effects of childhood trauma. Her approach encourages clients to build self-awareness, strengthen self-esteem and develop practical coping strategies that fit their lives.

Viewing each person as the expert of their own story, she focuses on clients' strengths and resources while offering guidance and support. Marzena values the courage it takes to seek change and aims to empower people as they move toward a more fulfilling and resilient life. Although therapy can be emotionally demanding, she believes it also has the potential to be inspiring and transformative.

Her clinical work draws on a mixture of theoretical perspectives, including holistic and psychodynamic ideas that consider how past relationships and unconscious motives can influence present difficulties. She is accredited with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her professional training and commitment to ongoing development.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Marzena integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into her work to address a range of emotional and relational concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action - it can be useful for anxiety, stress and avoidance patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections, which can help with intimacy issues, abandonment and family problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic relationship where the therapist follows the client’s pace and priorities, supporting growth in self-esteem and decision-making.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marzena works collaboratively with each person to identify methods that align with their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts techniques as therapy unfolds so the approach remains responsive and practical.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or international locations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to fit therapy into daily life while accessing support from licensed professionals and therapists who can tailor sessions to individual situations.
