Marcin Maciejewski, BACP

Marcin Maciejewski is a counsellor with five years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and additional experience in related therapeutic settings. He aims to make the step into therapy easier for people who are feeling anxious or uncertain about beginning work on difficult issues. Marcin notes substantial hours supporting people through mental health struggles and brings that practical experience into sessions.

He helps people navigate relationship difficulties, grief, depression, trauma and coping with life changes. Other concerns he commonly addresses include abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, eating and food-related issues, dissociation, communication problems and family of origin matters. He also lists experience with adoption and foster care, cancer-related challenges, and the impacts of domestic violence and divorce.

Marcin draws on a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside person-centred, existential and Gestalt-informed ideas. He emphasises the relationship in therapy and works to build mutual trust so practical tools can be used together. Common tools he offers include worksheets, mood charts, journalling, mindfulness practice, genograms, movement and creative expression.

Sessions are negotiated with each person, and Marcin often discusses a weekly rhythm as a useful starting point. He maintains regular supervision and peer support to reflect on his work. Communication between sessions is managed with set response times noted by the therapist.

Marcin also speaks from personal experience of therapy and uses that perspective to understand what it can feel like to start the process. He aims to combine practical exercises with open, respectful conversation to help people make tangible changes.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Marcin describes a mix of evidence-based techniques alongside person-centred and Gestalt-influenced ways of working. Person-centred work focuses on listening carefully and helping a person feel understood, which can help with depression, grief and relationship concerns. Gestalt-informed methods draw attention to present experience and bodily awareness, using movement or creative expression to surface feelings that words alone may not capture.

He also refers to evidence-based tools such as mindfulness practice and structured worksheets. Mindfulness helps people recognise and shift habitual thinking, which can be useful for anxiety, mood and coping with life changes. Worksheets and mood charts support everyday habit change by making patterns easier to see and address together in session.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided collaboratively. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try practical tools and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use creative exercises and worksheets between meetings to support steady change.
