About Milena

Milena Marcinek is a BACP-registered psychotherapeutic counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with people who are wrestling with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, family problems and questions about life purpose. Sessions are offered in English and Polish, and she accepts international clients.

Milena uses a humanistic, integrative style that combines several approaches. In practice this means she listens in a client-centred way and draws on mindfulness and somatic ideas when helpful. Conversations focus on what is most pressing for the person in front of her, such as dealing with relationship strain, feeling stuck at work, or coping with anxiety.

She also supports people who are working through issues linked to attachment, abandonment, body image and codependency. Milena pays attention to how thoughts, emotions and the body interact, and she will use grounding or mindful noticing to help with strong feelings.

When trauma or difficult memories are present, she includes trauma-informed practices alongside her other methods. The aim is to help people name patterns, reduce overwhelm, and make practical changes in day-to-day life.

Milena invites a steady, collaborative pace rather than quick fixes. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's concerns first. In practice this looks like careful listening, reflecting what matters most, and choosing next steps together to address stress, anxiety or career and life doubts.

Mindfulness Therapy uses brief attention exercises and grounded noticing to reduce reactivity. These simple practices can help when overwhelming thoughts or strong emotions make it hard to decide what to do next.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with the client and decide together which methods to use. That collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made or new priorities appear.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Many people choose remote sessions to fit therapy into a busy week, to keep appointments during relocation, or to avoid travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, book midday appointments during work breaks, or meet without needing to commute, while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
