She keeps sessions straightforward and people-focused. Marzena listens first and then helps identify small, practical steps that feel achievable. She encourages clients to notice patterns, try new ways of coping and build on their existing strengths.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on a mix of methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-based ideas. That means work may include spotting unhelpful thoughts, practising actions that match personal values, and looking at early relationship patterns that affect current life. Marzena values a collaborative style.
She views each person as the expert on their own story and aims to make space for honest conversation. Sessions often focus on improving communication, managing strong emotions and finding clearer direction after life changes. With five years of experience and BACP registration, she offers care for many common problems such as chronic illness stress, caregiver strain, abandonment and body image concerns.
If you want practical coping strategies and calm conversations about hard topics, Marzena provides a steady presence while you work towards change.
Approaches you can try online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values, while also learning ways to tolerate difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood and times of life change.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviours. It tends to be practical and goal-focused, helping with worry, sleep problems and low mood.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses. This can help when difficulties involve trust, closeness or repeated cycles in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and preferences and together you will try methods that suit your needs. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel useful and relevant.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you see body language and keep a face-to-face feel. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging supports shorter check-ins and regular, scheduled contact between longer sessions. Many registered or accredited professionals use these formats to make therapy more accessible for different routines and lifestyles.
