About Marcin
BACP. 5 years of professional counselling experience. Marcin Maciejewski works with people on relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and coping with life changes. He uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and practical tools to help people manage distress and everyday difficulties.
Marcin frames his work around the relationship with each person he meets. He combines person-centred and existential ideas with approaches such as mindfulness and movement. He also uses worksheets, mood charts, journalling and creative exercises to turn insights into practical steps.
He has roughly three thousand hours of direct helping work and additional experience in academic mentoring, institutional care and hospices. That broader background informs how he responds to complex situations such as attachment issues, abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, and family of origin problems.
Marcin often supports people facing body image concerns, eating and food-related issues, dissociation, codependency, communication problems, divorce and domestic violence. He also lists cancer, caregiver stress, co-morbidity and emptiness among areas he can help with. Sessions aim to clarify problems and build small, applicable practices to improve day-to-day coping.
He keeps ongoing professional support through two supervisors and peer groups within a Gestalt school. He prefers regular weekly sessions but agrees frequency with each person. He notes communication between sessions is usually answered in morning and early afternoon windows, with more urgent messages addressed as practicable.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions fit
Marcin uses a blend of evidence-based techniques alongside person-centred and existential thinking. Person-centred work focuses on listening and understanding the person as they describe their situation, which helps with feeling heard and clearer about next steps. Existential ideas address meaning, choice and life transitions, useful when people struggle with emptiness or major life changes.He also draws on mindfulness and movement-based practices to ground emotional distress. Mindfulness exercises help people notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed, while movement or embodiment practices can assist when emotions feel stuck in the body, such as after trauma or during grief.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and adapt tools and exercises over time. That makes sure work stays practical and relevant to daily life rather than fixed to one method.
The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a working day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also supports using worksheets, journalling and mood charts between meetings so people can practise new skills in their everyday routines.
