About Milena

Milena Marcinek offers a calm, person-centred space for people coping with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and ADHD-related struggles. She introduces herself simply and listens first, helping people name what feels urgent. Her short, steady style suits those who want practical support and someone who will follow their lead.

Milena uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs rather than one fixed method. She draws on somatic work to help people notice sensations in the body and link these to emotions.

Background and approach

She also uses client-centred ideas to keep sessions focused on what matters to the individual, and mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness. Over three years she has supported people through family conflict, communication problems and feelings of isolation or shame. She also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, body image and life purpose.

Her style is practical and grounded, aiming to help people make small, steady changes. Sessions are offered in English and Polish and she sees international clients from the United Kingdom. Milena works online using video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging, so people can choose what feels easiest for them.

Therapy is subscription-based and can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability. This first step helps Milena match her approach to the person’s goals and current situation.

How Milena’s approaches work online

Milena commonly combines somatic therapy, client-centred work and mindfulness to support people through stress, anxiety and trauma-related concerns. Somatic therapy helps people notice bodily sensations and how these link to emotions, which can be useful when anxiety or stress feels lodged in the body. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person sets the pace and topics for each session. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing skills to reduce overwhelm and increase calm.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Milena will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most comfortable. Together they’ll try techniques, check what helps, and adjust the way they work so sessions meet practical needs and personal values.

Online therapy makes these approaches flexible and accessible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and guided exercises, while phone sessions can suit those who prefer fewer visual cues. Live chat and text messaging provide ongoing support between talks and let people use short check-ins when that feels easier. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and find a rhythm that works for them.
