Marina is a great therapist, she is compassionate, flexible yet focused, and clearly expert in her field. I really appreciated how she structured our sessions, helping me to organise my thoughts and agree priorities of what to work on. Marina brought a range of different techniques into the sessions and would consider different approaches to problems between sessions. The balance of homework activities was good and the degree of challenge, raised step by step, enabled me to make progress without being overloaded with too much to tackle at one time. Her approach helped me make rapid progress and achieve my goals within a few weeks, which I really didn't expect given the issues I was struggling with felt insurmountable at the outset. I feel confident now that Marina has also equipped me with the tools to continue to face new challenges ahead. Overall I found her focused, intelligent and sympathetic approach to be exactly what I needed and I would highly recommend her to anyone considering beginning therapy.

Marina was excellent, this was my first session, and she helped me create a path.

Could not recommend Marina more! I have been having sessions with her the past few months and she has helped me so much. She is very kind and patient and gives really good advice:)
