About me
Hello. My name is Marzena, welcome to my profile. I am a Psychodynamic and Person Center Counsellor. Are you going through a difficult time and thinking that there is no one who could help you because of your struggle? I can imagine it must be difficult for you and I would like to offer you therapy work which would help you to get out of that place whatever that place is. I do work with adults, young people, teenagers and children with individuals, groups and family counselling on a face-to-face basis. I hold an MA in Educational Care & Therapy/Psychology plus multiple diplomas and certificates in various areas of psychotherapy and counselling. 19 years of training & experience in psychotherapy and therapy.
I have extensive experience of successfully counselling clients with a range of complex needs. This work has helped me to develop expert counselling skills and enhanced my interpersonal skills.
I also work with different types of addictions. One of my client said "Thank you for creating a safe and welcoming environment for me to share my deepest emotions and experiences. By giving me the freedom to be vulnerable, you have empowered me to confront and process my trauma, feelings, and surpressed emotions. I am forever grateful for your compassionate support in both one-to-one and group sessions, which have allowed me to grow and heal in ways I never thought possible."Arp (I changed my client name)
"Thank you for holding space for me, guiding me with compassion, and helping me discover my inner strength both individually and in a group setting." This text is one of my clients sharing with you his experience which he gained in my sessions and appriciatness for my professional support and help. I thought I would share this with you as this is evidence of my counselling practice :)
My clients have consistently reported substantial improvements in their wellbeing, as measured at the start and end of counselling.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information
I provide a safe, therapeutic, non-judgmental and confidential environment where you can talk freely and honestly about what is concerning you. Together, we can take the time to explore your thoughts, feelings, emotions and behaviors as well as reflecting on your life, relationships, work or school.
Whatever you are feeling now, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Life can be tricky sometimes and you may think that people can't understand you because of what you are going through. Sometimes you need someone to listen to you, to help you to understand what is actually happening. I can help you to walk through this journey, to find a way to a safe place which respects your values and beliefs. You can talk about any issues that bother you and explore your emotions without judgment. I have 19 years of training and experience in a broad range of topics in psychotherapy counselling and educational therapy.
My unique Specialties:
Anxiety, self-esteem, relationship issues, trauma, suicidal thoughts. Issues: relationships, bereavement, marital, coping skills, emotional disturbance, adolescent / teenager, children / trauma, stress, addictions, suicidal attempts, learning disabilities, ( I have over 10 years experience working in therapeutic field with children and young people with Autism, Asperger’s, ADHD, OCD, dyslexia, behavioral issues, coping skills).
I offer on my counselling session Humanistic and Psychodynamic Approach. Psychodynamic approach is designed to help individuals with a wide range of problems such as anxiety, addiction and eating disorders. Primarily used to treat depression, psychodynamic therapy can be particularly beneficial for those who have lost meaning in their lives or have difficulty forming or maintaining personal relationships and many different issues. I offer a safe place to explore your fillings, your relationship patterns and whatever going on in your life.
I apply Drawing and Talking (D&T) Therapy to help children and adults to overcome trauma, anxiety and difficulties in relationships at home, school or work. If you are interested in exploring how D&T can help you to express your feelings in an easy-going non-judgmental way, allowing the full realisation of your social and academic potential.
