About Milena
Milena Marcinek is a BACP registered psychotherapeutic counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and ADHD, and she lists family concerns and guilt and shame among her focus areas.
Milena uses a humanistic, integrative style that draws on different methods to suit what each person needs. Sessions are conversational and person-led, with space to talk through difficult memories, current problems and confusing emotions. She pays attention to how feelings show up in the body as well as in thought.
People come to Milena for help with attachment and abandonment issues, problems with control or impulsivity, and struggles around body image or codependency. She also works with people affected by infidelity, domestic violence, isolation and communication problems. Milena describes work on forgiveness and letting go of guilt and shame as part of the range she offers.
Her approach blends client-centred listening with mindfulness practices and somatic awareness. That means sessions may include grounding exercises, noticing physical sensations, and staying with present-moment experience rather than only talking through the past. Trauma-informed methods are used when appropriate to help people manage strong reactions safely.
Milena offers sessions in English and Polish and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, the site matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled.
Approaches you can try in online sessions
Milena blends client-centred work with mindfulness and somatic practices to help with emotions tied to guilt, shame, trauma and everyday stress. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding from the person’s perspective, helping people make sense of their choices and feelings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and increase awareness of thought patterns. Somatic Therapy draws attention to bodily sensations and uses grounding or movement to help regulate strong emotions.Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. Milena will discuss preferences, needs and goals and try different approaches together to see what helps most. That collaborative process means the focus can shift as things change over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, require less travel, and allow for shorter check-ins when days are full. It also lets people use practices such as brief grounding exercises during a break, try mindful attention in daily settings, or notice how sensations arise between sessions.
