About Milena
Milena Marcinek is a BACP counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those dealing with family conflict and questions about life purpose. She meets people where they are and aims to create a respectful, empathetic space for conversation.
Milena draws on a humanistic, integrative way of working, which means she combines different approaches to suit each person. Sessions focus on listening, building understanding and finding practical ways to feel steadier day to day. She works in English and Polish and is based in the United Kingdom.
In the room Milena pays close attention to how feelings show up in the body and in relationships. She uses elements of somatic work to help people notice physical signals of stress. Mindfulness techniques are also offered to support calmer thinking and better emotional regulation.
Trauma-focused ideas inform how she approaches difficult memories and patterns that repeat. The overall aim is to help people feel more in control of their choices, respond differently in strained relationships and recover a sense of self-worth.
Her practice covers a broad range of concerns that often overlap, such as attachment and abandonment worries, communication problems and struggles with impulsivity. With three years of experience and BACP credentialing, she combines practical steps with compassionate listening to help clients move forward.
If you are thinking about starting, Milena encourages a simple first step: complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a session to see how the approach feels for you.
Approaches that guide online work and wellbeing
Milena makes use of client-centred methods that prioritise the person’s own concerns and goals. This approach means the therapist listens carefully, reflects what is heard and helps people find their own solutions, which can be especially helpful for stress, low mood and confidence issues.She also offers mindfulness-based techniques to support more present-focused awareness. These techniques teach simple ways to notice thoughts and feelings without getting carried away, which often helps when anxiety or rumination are a problem.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Milena will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, pace and preferences. Goals and techniques are reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan fits the person rather than the other way round.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic. It can also let people use quieter surroundings, choose not to be on camera, or pick a session length that suits a work break. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and somatic practices for remote work to help with stress, anxiety and trauma-related symptoms.
