Sessions are offered in English and Polish and she practises from the United Kingdom. Her approach is collaborative and plain. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and focuses on building self-awareness and self-confidence.

Background and approach

Therapy often includes creating coping strategies and small, manageable steps that fit day-to-day life. Marzena draws on a mix of clinical styles to match each person’s needs. She uses Trauma-Focused techniques alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when relevant.

Client-Centred principles guide sessions so conversations stay focused on the person in front of her. With five years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, she brings steady support to difficult topics.

How online approaches and therapies work together

Trauma-Focused work helps people process distressing events by focusing on memories, emotions and responses that keep someone stuck. It can help with symptoms that follow abuse or painful past events and aims to reduce the impact those memories have on everyday life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills to notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It supports people to commit to actions that match their values while learning ways to manage painful emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect current connections, which can help with intimacy, abandonment worries and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and choose methods together with the client based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made or new issues arise.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and deeper work, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat suits brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family life and travel, and allow continuity when circumstances change.
