Marzena Uphill, BACP

Marzena Uphill is a UK-based licensed therapist with five years of clinical experience supporting people facing a wide range of life challenges. She works with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief and bereavement, relationship and family difficulties, self-esteem concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stresses, career transitions, and other coping issues. Her practice also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, body image and intimacy-related issues, chronic illness and caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control issues, and the emotional impact of divorce or domestic violence.

Marzena believes that each person is the expert of their own story and that therapy can help uncover strengths, increase self-awareness, and develop practical coping strategies. She aims to empower clients to build self-confidence and make meaningful changes, while acknowledging that the therapeutic journey can be both emotionally demanding and deeply transformative. Her style emphasizes collaboration, respect, and encouragement as people take steps toward a more fulfilling life.

In her counselling work she draws on a blend of approaches, including holistic and psychodynamic ideas that explore how past relationships and unconscious motivations influence present difficulties, alongside evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred practice, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Existential perspectives. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and offers services in English and Polish, including support for international clients.
