Marcin Maciejewski

Marcin Maciejewski is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional practice and extensive experience in related therapeutic settings. He has gathered around 3,000 hours of direct clinical work and additional years in academic mentoring, institutional care and hospice settings. He aims to make taking the first step into therapy easier and less daunting for those who reach out.

He supports people facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and coping with major life changes. Marcin also works with issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment problems, body image, caregiver stress, and eating or food-related difficulties. He draws on a broad range of experience to help people name what is troubling them and take small, practical steps forward.

His practice focuses on building trust and a strong working relationship. He combines person-centred and existential ideas with techniques from metacognitive cognitive therapy, focusing and Gestalt approaches. In conversation, he aims to be direct, compassionate and down-to-earth so people can talk through hard things and test new ways of coping.

Clients can expect practical tools alongside talk therapy. He uses worksheets, mood charts, journalling, mindfulness exercises, genograms, movement and creative expression when appropriate. These are offered in agreement with the client and adapted to individual needs.

Marcin keeps his work under regular supervision and belongs to peer groups to maintain standards and reflection. He has personal experience of therapy, which he says helps him understand what taking that first step can feel like.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Marcin draws on person-centred and existential ideas alongside techniques from metacognitive cognitive work and Gestalt practice. Person-centred work focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person, helping them feel heard and more able to make choices. Existential approaches help people face life transitions and questions of meaning, useful for grief and major life changes. Metacognitive cognitive techniques target patterns of thinking and rumination, which can help with depression and anxiety.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and day-to-day needs and then try approaches that fit. He adapts tools and exercises to individual circumstances and checks in regularly to see what helps most.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy life. Online work can make attending sessions simpler when travel or time is a barrier, and it can let people use shorter check-ins when needed.
