"Hi Marina,
Just wanted to message you to say that I’m a week away from going travelling for a few months. I can’t count the number of times I’ve told people how important and helpful I found counselling with you. I wanted to thank you again and let you know that I’ve generally been really good, and am definitely getting better at self-soothing and at reaching out to the right people for support."

”I carry everything you taught me with me every single day, I remember your words and lessons every time I feel anxious or like I can’t do something, or when I feel self-critical thoughts creeping up. I am eternally grateful for the journey I was able to go on with your help, I feel so insanely lucky that you were my therapist. You have completely changed my life Marina! It hasn’t just helped me, I feel like it has also softened and deepened my understanding and compassion for people around me.

"Hi there! Just wanted to say how great the inner child workshop was. Had lots of fun and really touched a part of me that I haven't fully been able to understand before. I also went home and led my partner through the same visualisation, and it helped her so much.
We'd both love to hear about any future events and things that you run."

"Hi Marina, I want to thank you so much for your support and the space you held for me this year 🙏🏽 At the beginning of this year, I barely recognised myself, and over the year I've had the opportunity to come closer to home within me, and it's been amazing. Thank you deeply for being part of that journey. I hope our paths cross again (though under different circumstances 😁). Sending you lots of gratitude and love 🌙🪷✨"

"I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you again for everything over the past year. Our sessions have been an incredible journey, and I genuinely appreciate the support, guidance, and understanding you've provided throughout this process. I am leaving our sessions feeling lighter, with a greater sense of self and confidence, and feel very, very lucky to have had you as my therapist! If ever I find myself in need of support again, I will not hesitate to reach out.
Until then, I'm wishing you all the best in your continued work and hope our paths cross again someday!"

"I worked with Marina for close to 3 years, and therapy was crucial in me understanding myself better – one key part of that was by connecting to sides of myself that I had been embarrassed about or wasn’t in touch with before therapy, like my teenage self. Resolving myself to these sides, seeing them, and discovering that I felt love towards them meant that I was able to approach life from a place of centeredness, a place where I was more at peace with myself, and so, more at peace with others."
G.A., 25, United Kingdom
"I can't express how grateful I am to have found Marina after other therapy attempts in the past. Her guidance, support, and therapy style have been invaluable to me on my journey throughout my personal growth. Marina supported me during university, where I tackled social anxiety, work life, family life, and student life. Today, I've not only learned how to cope with life's challenges but also how to view my different characteristics less critically. Marina has always made me feel safe and understood, allowing me to open up in ways I never thought possible. From our sessions, I've gained a deeper understanding of myself and developed the tools to navigate through life's ups and downs. Marina has been the therapist I’ve always wanted and needed. I wholeheartedly couldn't recommend her enough to anyone seeking a compassionate, supportive, and empathetic therapist."
