About Milena
Milena Marcinek is a BACP-registered psychotherapeutic counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and ADHD, and supports people dealing with family conflict and related struggles.
Milena draws on a humanistic, integrative approach. She mixes methods from client-centred work, mindfulness and somatic practices to match what each person needs in the moment. Sessions aim to be straightforward conversations where thoughts, feelings and physical reactions are noticed and talked through.
She has experience in areas linked to early life wounds, including abandonment, attachment difficulties and trauma. That work often looks at how past patterns affect current relationships and self-worth. Milena also addresses issues such as codependency, communication problems, impulsivity and feelings of isolation.
Practical concerns like control issues, body image and decisions about life purpose are included alongside emotional problems such as guilt, shame and grief over infidelity. Therapy can involve noticing bodily responses, practising grounding and using mindful attention to reduce overwhelm.
Sessions are conversational and paced to each person. Milena helps people test out different ways of thinking and acting, and discusses small steps to try between sessions. She accepts clients internationally and offers work in English and Polish.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what someone says. It helps people feel heard and clarifies goals by keeping the conversation about their priorities and choices.Mindfulness therapy teaches noticing thoughts and bodily states without getting pulled into them. That practice can reduce reactivity to stress and calm racing thoughts, which is useful for anxiety, depression and overwhelm.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses options with each person and tries methods that match their needs, goals and comfort. Decisions about techniques and pacing are made together, so clients can give feedback and adjust as they go.

Many people find online sessions easier to fit around study or work, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. The therapist will work with practicalities so appointments fit into everyday life and support progress between sessions.
