Marcin Maciejewski, BACP

Marcin Maciejewski is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional practice. He aims to make the first steps into therapy less daunting and to help people take steady steps towards better daily wellbeing.

He brings substantial hands-on experience supporting people through depression, grief, trauma and relationship difficulties. He also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, eating-related problems, caregiver stress, and the emotional impact of cancer.

In sessions he focuses on building a trusting working relationship first. That trust guides what happens next, and helps shape practical tools that clients can use between meetings. He draws on a mix of approaches so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Practical supports often include worksheets, mood charts, journalling, mindfulness work, family genograms, movement, and creative expression. These are used alongside spoken work to help people notice change and try new ways of coping.

Marcin keeps regular supervision and peer support as part of his practice. He aims to agree session frequency with each person he sees and to offer clear communication about messages between meetings.

Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits

Marcin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that centre on the relationship and practical change. One approach focuses on building a strong therapeutic alliance - that means spending time on trust, clear communication and mutual understanding so conversations can go deeper and feel safer. This helps with complex trauma, grief and long-standing relationship problems. Another strand emphasises experiential and creative methods, using movement, artistic expression and genograms to make feelings easier to name and to shift patterns rooted in family history. These methods can help with attachment issues, body image and identity concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to identify what fits best, combining talking and practical tools where useful. The plan can change over time as needs and goals evolve, and he will check in regularly to ensure the approach remains helpful.

Online formats make this flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual work such as genograms; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, want ongoing brief support, or need to fit sessions into a busy day. These options give practical ways to keep therapy consistent while fitting around work, study or caring responsibilities.
