About Milena
Milena Marcinek is a BACP-registered counsellor who helps people facing stress and anxiety. She offers steady, calm support for those struggling with low self-esteem, depression, ADHD and questions about life purpose. Sessions are welcoming and non-judgemental, and she speaks English and Polish.
Milena uses a humanistic, integrative way of working. She adapts her approach to what each person needs rather than following one fixed method. That can mean focusing on present difficulties, noticing body sensations, or exploring past experiences that still affect daily life.
Background and approach
People come to her with a wide range of concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, communication problems and isolation. She also supports those dealing with impulsivity, control issues, guilt and shame, and the aftermath of infidelity or domestic violence. Conversations aim to make difficult feelings easier to understand and manage.
In sessions she blends client-centred listening with mindfulness and somatic techniques to help people notice how thoughts and the body connect. Trauma-focused elements are used when past events continue to cause distress. The overall focus is practical: build tools to reduce anxiety and increase confidence in everyday life.
Milena has three years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She accepts international clients and offers video, phone, live chat and text-based messaging sessions. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair people with her and then a session is scheduled according to availability.
How Milena’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person in front of the counsellor. Online sessions keep that same emphasis - the counsellor reflects what is said and helps the client feel heard while choosing goals together. This approach is useful for anxiety and self-esteem concerns.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. Online meetings can include guided mindfulness exercises and short practices to use between sessions, which can help with stress and rumination. Somatic therapy pays attention to body sensations and how feelings show up physically; in video or phone sessions clients are guided to notice tension, breathing patterns and grounding techniques that can reduce anxiety symptoms.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods collaboratively, adjusting based on the client's needs, goals and comfort. This helps build a personalised way forward rather than imposing a single style.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls recreate in-person conversation and allow visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while working with registered or accredited professionals and therapists who adapt methods to each person.
