Milena Marcinek , BACP

Milena Marcinek is a counsellor who helps people handle stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and difficulties around family life. She works with clients who are managing depression, ADHD and struggles with life direction. Milena speaks English and Polish and practises from the United Kingdom.

Her approach is humanistic and integrative, which means she adapts methods to suit each person rather than using a single fixed style. She draws on client-centred work to keep sessions focused on the person's priorities. Mindfulness and somatic techniques are used to bring attention to bodily sensations and to reduce ongoing tension.

Milena has three years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is part of how she keeps a professional standard in her work. She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through past hurts and current challenges.

In sessions she helps people look at patterns such as codependency, communication problems and attachment issues. Practical steps - like slowing down strong reactions, noticing how the body holds stress, and trying small communication changes - are often part of her work. Goals are set together and reviewed as therapy progresses.

Milena accepts clients from different countries and offers a range of online formats. She encourages people to take the first step when they feel ready and supports them at a pace that suits their situation.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-centred work focuses on listening carefully and following the person's priorities in each session. Online this means the counsellor reflects back concerns, helps clarify goals and supports people to make changes at their own pace.

Mindfulness Therapy offers simple exercises to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. In remote sessions a counsellor can guide breathing practices, grounding exercises and short meditations that people can then use between meetings.

Somatic Therapy brings attention to bodily sensations and responses. Through gentle prompts and awareness exercises a counsellor helps people notice tension, calm a racing system and try new physical ways of responding to stress, all of which work well across video or phone sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, try methods that seem likely to help, and adjust the plan as you learn what feels useful. That shared testing and feedback helps tailor the work to each person's needs.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face contact when that matters, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets people share thoughts between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping continuity of care.
