Milena Marcinek, BACP

Milena Marcinek offers calm, practical support for people navigating major life changes and strain. She focuses on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and ADHD-related challenges. Her approach aims to help people feel more steady and in control of everyday life.

Milena uses a human-centred, integrative way of working that draws on different therapeutic ideas. Sessions tend to be conversational and grounded, with attention to how feelings show up in the body as well as in thought. She encourages realistic small steps and clearer personal boundaries to reduce overwhelm.

With three years of professional experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - she works with people coping with relationship strain, family difficulties and loneliness. She also supports those dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns, impulsivity and issues around forgiveness and guilt.

Milena pays close attention to past hurts and trauma when they affect current wellbeing. She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through painful memories and patterns. The focus is on helping people spot repeated responses and try different ways of relating to themselves and others.

Practical tools are combined with reflective conversation. That might include mindfulness exercises, noticing body sensations, or practising communication skills. People often leave sessions with simple strategies to manage stress, clearer priorities, and a better sense of life direction.

How Milena’s approaches translate to online work

Milena draws on client-centred principles, mindfulness and somatic awareness to help people feel more settled. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can find their own solutions; it is helpful when someone needs space to make sense of a life change. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce rumination and calm the nervous system, which can ease anxiety and low mood. Somatic Therapy pays attention to bodily sensations and movement to help release held tension and notice how emotions appear in the body.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Milena will discuss options with each person and decide together what feels most useful. That collaborative process means methods can be adapted as needs and goals change during therapy.

The profile does not specify session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online counselling helps fit conversations into a busy week, saves travel time and makes it easier to keep continuity between appointments. Others appreciate the ability to choose a quieter time or a shorter check-in when needed. These practical benefits can make regular therapy easier to maintain while working through midlife questions and transitions.
