Milena Marcinek, BACP

Milena Marcinek is a registered psychotherapeutic counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She is accredited with BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists, and her work is grounded in a humanistic integrative framework that brings together different methods to suit each person she meets.

Her practice supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, family conflicts, low self-esteem, difficulties with motivation and confidence, and challenges related to ADHD. She also provides specialist support for those affected by childhood trauma and for people experiencing self-harm or suicidal thoughts. Milena places emphasis on creating a compassionate, non-judgmental environment where individuals can explore their past, examine limiting beliefs, and identify their core needs.

Milena works at the client pace, meeting people where they are and adapting her approach as therapy progresses. She aims to empower clients to build clearer communication, stronger self-understanding, and practical coping strategies so they can move toward goals that matter to them.

Online Therapeutic Approaches and Support

Milena works with several evidence-informed approaches tailored to the online setting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a strong, respectful therapeutic relationship where the client’s perspective guides the pace and goals of work - it is helpful for exploring self-esteem, life direction, and relational issues. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and awareness practices to help reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can ease symptoms of stress, anxiety, and low mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers structured ways to address the effects of past traumatic experiences, helping clients process difficult memories and reduce their ongoing impact on daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Milena collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adapts techniques as therapy progresses so the plan remains responsive and client led.

Online therapy with Milena is conducted by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and preferences. These options make it easier to access support from home or while travelling, and allow therapy to continue even when in-person meetings are not possible.
