About Marzena Uphill

Marzena Uphill is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family difficulties, self-esteem struggles, eating and sleeping problems, parenting challenges, and issues related to intimacy and sexuality. She also supports clients dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, bereavement, body image and fertility matters, as well as anger, career changes and coping with life transitions.

Marzena believes that each person is the expert on their own story and that therapy can help uncover strengths, increase self-awareness and build practical coping strategies. Her practice aims to empower people to make meaningful changes, whether they are working through past attachment wounds, processing loss, navigating relationship breakdowns, or learning to manage anxiety and low mood. She approaches therapy with compassion and a commitment to supporting clients through both the difficult and the hopeful moments of change.

In her work she draws on a mix of evidence-informed methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Existential Therapy. Her style is collaborative and respectful, focused on helping people develop resilience, clarity and a clearer sense of direction. Marzena welcomes enquiries from those who are ready to begin or continue their therapeutic journey and looks forward to hearing from prospective clients.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Marzena integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts and feelings arise - it can be useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships to understand current attachment needs and improve relational connections, which can help with intimacy, abandonment issues and family difficulties. CBT offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and is often effective for depression, anxiety and sleep or eating concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marzena works collaboratively with each person to understand their needs, goals and preferences, and to tailor methods that fit their situation rather than imposing a single model. Together the therapist and client decide which techniques to prioritise and how to adapt them over time.

Online therapy with Marzena is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or who live far from in-person services. These options allow consistent access to registered professionals and make it easier to continue work on relationships, grief, trauma recovery and everyday coping from wherever the client is located.
