Marzena Uphill

Hello and welcome to my profile. I am a qualified Counsellor who is offering F2F therapy sessions in my garden lodge, along side this I also offer online and telephone sessions.

I am a therapist with over 6 years of professional work experience. I have worked successfully with many clients who have a range of different needs; this includes, but is not limited to, relationships difficulties, loss, and bereavement. I have also successfully aided clients in exploring their childhood trauma and how that has affected them in their adult lives, in particular, suffering with anxiety and/or depression.

Whatever is troubling you, counselling therapy can help you to understand yourself better by developing self-awareness, self - confidence and coping strategies. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you during this therapeutic process.

I am aware that beginning therapy could be a daunting process and you may have apprehension to choose someone who you will be able to trust and share your thoughts, feelings and life challenges. My training required me to have personal therapy, so I know what it is like to be a client myself.

Throughout my professional experience I noticed the importance of the relational aspect of therapy alongside autonomy and understanding. These together play a significant role to a positive outcome of therapy. I believe that every person is unique within their experiences so as an integrative counsellor which mainly works in a psychodynamic way I am able to tailor the therapy to your needs with a variety of psychological theories. 

I am very passionate about what I do and feel strongly that although therapy can be emotionally challenging at times, it can also be inspiring and a life changing experience. I want to reassure you that whatever is troubling you, counselling therapy can help you to understand yourself better by developing self-awareness, self - understanding and confidence along coping strategies.

I am able to offer an initial 25 min telephone consultation free of charge and in this session we will explore:

What brings you to therapy?

Have you had any past experience of counselling or psychotherapy, and if so, how did you find it?

What is it you want to get out of the experience?

We can decide whether we can work together on a short or long term basis, but most importantly, this session will allow you to get the sense of whether I would be the right therapist for you and also able to get a feel how I work, prior to making any financial commitment. If you are unsure whether or not to continue with therapy, you are under no obligation to continue beyond the initial appointment.

I really hope my profile has encouraged you to begin your therapy journey and I very much look forward to hearing from you.
