Marcin Maciejewski

Marcin Maciejewski is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional practice and a long history in related therapeutic settings. He aims to make the first steps into therapy less daunting and offers a calm, practical way to begin talking about difficult experiences.

He has logged around three thousand hours working directly with people facing mental health challenges, and many more hours in supporting roles such as academic mentoring and care in hospices. That background informs a down-to-earth style that focuses on clear, practical steps rather than jargon.

Marcin helps people who are coping with depression, grief, trauma and relationship difficulties. He also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment problems, body image, eating concerns, and the effects of narcissistic abuse. He describes therapy as a collaborative process where small tools and routines can make a big difference day to day.

His way of working draws on person-centred, existential, mindfulness-informed and Gestalt ideas alongside focused cognitive-behavioural methods. In sessions he may suggest worksheets, mood charts, journalling, movement or creative exercises to try between meetings. These tools are used together with conversation to build better coping skills.

Marcin emphasises the therapeutic relationship as the foundation of change. He also participates in supervision and peer groups to reflect on his work. People who value practical strategies alongside gentle, reflective conversation may find his approach a good fit.

Approaches that shape online work

Marcin draws on person-centred and Gestalt-influenced ways of working. Person-centred work focuses on listening closely and following the client’s concerns, helping people feel heard and understood. Gestalt-informed practice pays attention to present-moment experience and bodily sensations, helping people notice patterns in feeling and behaviour.

He also integrates focused cognitive-behavioural techniques to offer concrete strategies for mood, anxiety and relationship difficulties. Those techniques involve practical exercises and short experiments to try between sessions, aimed at changing unhelpful patterns and building new coping habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work and is decided together. The therapist will help identify which methods suit the client’s goals and preferences, and will adapt the mix over time as progress is reviewed.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available session formats before booking as they are not specified here. Online work can make therapy easier to fit around daily life, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. It can also suit people who prefer to use written tools and worksheets between meetings or who want to try sessions that focus on shorter check-ins or longer therapeutic conversation depending on what fits their week.
