Magdalena Seremak-Kaczmarczyk, BACP

Magdalena Seremak-Kaczmarczyk trained in counselling and holds a Master of Science in Counselling and Positive Psychology. She has three years of professional experience and carries the BACP credential, and she works in the United Kingdom. Magdalena offers a calm, non-judgemental presence and aims to help people find clearer ways to manage difficult feelings.

Magdalena draws on several approaches to therapy to match what each person needs. She uses client-centred work that focuses on the person in front of her, and cognitive behavioural ideas to help notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolkit to help build awareness and motivation for change.

Her background includes volunteering with a free counselling service where she met people facing depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. She has experience supporting people through job loss, financial strain and family problems, as well as those affected by abuse, trauma and addiction. This range has shaped a practical, down-to-earth way of working.

Sessions are intended to be a space to talk, think things through and decide on small steps forward. Magdalena aims to listen closely and help people make sense of painful experiences so they can feel less stuck. She offers work in English and Polish and accepts international clients.

People who value clear explanation and steady support may find her approach helpful. She also helps with relationship strain, parenting pressures, identity and immigration concerns. Magdalena uses a mix of short-term problem-solving and longer reflective work depending on what the client needs.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what is said, asks gentle questions and helps the person feel heard so they can explore feelings and choices.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviours. It often uses short exercises and clear tasks between sessions to build new ways of coping with anxiety, low mood or stress.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. These techniques can help with rumination, stress and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, try a few methods and adapt based on how helpful they prove to be. Clients and therapist decide together whether to focus on short-term problem solving or on deeper reflective work.

Online formats let people fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls are close to face-to-face and allow visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit quick reflections, ongoing check-ins or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to keep consistent appointments and to use therapy in practical ways.
