Milena MarcinekBACP

Milena Marcinek is a BACP counsellor who supports people facing pregnancy and childbirth-related worries alongside everyday stresses. She aims to create an approachable space for someone feeling anxious, low in confidence, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start. Milena speaks English and Polish, and she has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Her practice draws on a humanistic, integrative stance. That means she blends Client-Centred, mindfulness and body-focused methods to match what each person needs. Sessions are conversational and practical - clients talk through current problems, learn calming skills, and notice how emotions show up in the body.

Milena has helped people with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and attention difficulties. She also supports those dealing with attachment wounds, abandonment, codependency, body image and relationship stresses. The work can include looking at past experiences, building clearer boundaries, and practising self-soothing techniques.

Her style is steady and respectful. She encourages small, manageable steps rather than sudden changes. Milena helps people identify what matters to them and plans realistic ways to move forward.

Therapy begins with a short matching process and scheduling. Milena uses that first stage to agree goals and to choose approaches that suit the person’s needs and preferences. She accepts international clients and works with people who prefer sessions in English or Polish.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Milena often uses Client-Centred and Mindfulness-based techniques in her work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own solutions, which can be useful for anxiety, low confidence and life transitions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and to notice thoughts without getting swept away by them.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Milena will discuss your goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. She adapts the pace and tools to fit your needs and checks in regularly to make sure the work feels helpful.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which online formats are offered. Many people value being able to fit sessions into a busy day, for example taking a shorter check-in during a lunch break or choosing an option that needs less camera time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments, practise mindfulness between meetings and apply tools in everyday settings.
