About Marcin
Marcin Maciejewski is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional practice and extensive related experience. He aims to make the first steps into therapy less daunting and to help people build steady routines that support their wellbeing.
He has roughly 3,000 hours of direct helping work and further experience in academic mentoring, institutional care and hospice settings. That background informs a steady, practical style that focuses on what people can try between sessions.
Marcin helps with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and coping with life changes. He also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, eating and food-related issues, dissociation and codependency among others.
His practice draws on several therapeutic influences, including person-centred, existential approaches, metacognitive cognitive behavioural ideas, Focusing, intersubjectivity and Gestalt methods. He places particular weight on the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for making change.
In sessions he uses practical tools agreed with the client. These include worksheets, mood charts, journalling, mindfulness, genograms, movement and creative expression. Marcin describes these as exercises people can use to notice small shifts and build better day-to-day coping.
He takes ongoing professional development seriously and participates in supervision and peer groups. He aims to negotiate session rhythm with each person, often suggesting weekly work but adapting to individual needs.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Marcin blends person-centred and Gestalt-influenced ways of working with metacognitive cognitive behavioural ideas. Person-centred work focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person, which helps when people are feeling stuck or unheard. Gestalt-influenced methods attend to present-moment experience and bodily awareness, useful for tackling dissociation, body image concerns and emotional overwhelm. Metacognitive cognitive behavioural ideas look at patterns of thinking and attention, and help people develop different ways of responding to distress such as in anxiety or depression.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will talk with each person about what feels helpful and try different methods together, adjusting based on the person's goals and preferences. That collaborative process aims to match tools and exercises to what the person wants to change.
Please confirm current session formats before booking as the biography does not specify them. Online therapy can still make fitting sessions into everyday life easier by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins around busy days and offering options that do not require being on camera. It can also let people use practical tools between meetings, such as worksheets, mood charts and journalling, which are easy to share and review during sessions.
