Magdalena Seremak-Kaczmarczyk, BACP

Magdalena Seremak-Kaczmarczyk is a qualified counsellor with a Master of Science in Counselling and Positive Psychology from the University of Bolton and professional membership with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She brings several years of hands-on support, including six years of volunteer work at a free counselling service where she addressed a wide range of challenges such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, job loss, health and financial difficulties, family breakdown, domestic violence, sexual abuse, and trauma.

Her experience also extends to supporting people affected by substance misuse, homelessness, and human trafficking. Magdalena works with clients facing stress, addictions, relationship and family issues, parenting and fatherhood concerns, career changes, anger, and coping with life transitions. She also focuses on specific areas including abandonment, codependency, body image, dissociation, eating and food-related issues, and immigration-related difficulties.

Magdalena’s approach emphasises the role of the subconscious in shaping responses to life and offers ways to reframe and resolve persistent problems. She integrates techniques from person-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness, positive psychology, solution-focused methods, and practices around radical forgiveness to tailor support to each person’s needs. Magdalena aims to create a non-judgmental, empathetic environment where people can explore difficult topics and begin therapeutic change. She welcomes enquiries from those seeking help and guidance.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Magdalena commonly draws on client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and mindfulness practices. Client-centred therapy focuses on creating an understanding, non-judgmental relationship that helps people explore their feelings and find their own solutions; it is helpful for self-esteem, relationship issues, and emotional recovery. CBT is a practical approach that examines unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours and offers skills to manage anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviours. Mindfulness work teaches present-moment awareness and simple exercises to reduce reactivity and improve stress management, which can support trauma recovery and coping with life changes.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Magdalena works collaboratively with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most effective, adapting techniques over time so the therapy fits the individual’s needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter contacts are possible through live chat or text-based messaging. This variety allows people to access support from different locations, fit sessions around work and family commitments, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with registered professionals and therapists.
