About Marina
She draws on four years of clinical experience to keep conversations practical and focused. Marina starts by listening to each person's story and identifying their immediate concerns. Then she uses straightforward techniques to help clients notice patterns, manage intense feelings and try small changes between sessions.
Her approach blends existential thinking with solution-focused ideas and Internal Family Systems. This means she’ll look at life meaning and choices, help set clear goals for change, and explore internal parts that shape feelings and behaviours. Sessions aim to be collaborative, paced to the individual's needs, and sensitive to relationships and family roles.
Marina believes people already carry strengths that can be built on. She encourages curiosity about difficult thoughts and emotions rather than judging them. Practical homework and short-term goals are used when useful to build confidence and momentum.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist availability.

How Marina’s approaches work online and in sessions
Existential Therapy focuses on big life questions and personal meaning. It helps when people face midlife changes, uncertainty, or a sense of emptiness by encouraging honest reflection and choice about values and direction.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and clear goals. It’s useful for stress, anxiety and relationship problems because it highlights what already helps and builds simple, testable changes to try between sessions.
Internal Family Systems looks at the different ‘parts’ inside a person that hold feelings like shame, fear or anger. Working with these parts can reduce internal conflict and improve self-understanding, which often helps with attachment and codependency issues.
Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and decide together which methods to use based on needs, goals and preferences. This remains flexible as the relationship develops.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Many people find that meeting remotely helps them maintain continuity of care and try therapy alongside daily commitments.
