Marcin Maciejewski, BACP

Marcin Maciejewski is a UK-licensed counsellor with five years of professional practice and more than a decade of experience in related therapeutic settings. He has accrued roughly 3,000 hours directly supporting people with mental health challenges and more than double that amount across roles in academic mentoring, institutional care and hospice work. He recognises that taking the first step into therapy often requires courage, and he aims to make subsequent steps clearer and more manageable for each person he meets.

Marcin works with a wide range of concerns, including depression, trauma and complex PTSD, relationship difficulties, autism spectrum related issues, grief and loss, body dysmorphia, social anxiety, and experiences of abuse. He also supports people facing adoption and foster care questions, attachment issues, caregiver stress, eating and food-related issues, dissociation, and family of origin difficulties. His practice addresses both immediate symptoms and the relational patterns that influence long-term wellbeing.

His clinical approach draws on multiple therapeutic modalities - including person-centred work, existential perspectives, MCBT, Focusing, intersubjectivity and Gestalt - with the therapeutic relationship at the centre. In practice he combines conversational work with practical tools such as worksheets, mood charts, journalling, mindfulness practice, genograms, movement and creative expression so that clients can apply strategies between sessions. Marcin maintains ongoing professional development with two supervisors and peer support within a Gestalt school, ensuring regular reflection on his work and a commitment to improving quality of care. He responds to non-urgent communications in the mornings and around mid-day in his time zone, and arranges session frequency with each client individually, noting that regular weekly appointments often work well. Marcin holds BACP membership, which indicates alignment with a recognised professional body in the UK.
