I believe firmly in a Holistic Approach, integrating therapeutic modalities tailored to your individual and your couple's needs as to your felt emotions, cognitions, physical impacts and 'spiritual' sense.
If you're seeking an experienced therapist with a deep understanding of both professional and personal life challenges, contact me. I provide a safe space where you and I explore difficult feelings and gain enhanced awareness of how past and present relationships, break-ups, grief or traumas may be affecting you from day to day. Your feelings of enjoyment and fulfilment in life may be painfully disrupted. Work pressures, difficult relationships, lack of support, sleep interruptions are just some of the factors that can drain your energy and leave you feeling low, lacking motivation and depressed.

You moved to London thinking the hard part was behind you. But you're further from home than you expected — not just geographically. Maybe it's the loneliness no one warned you about, or the relationship strain you didn't see coming, or the anxiety that seems louder here than it ever was back home.
As a fellow American living and working in London, I understand the particular ache of building a life abroad — and the complexity of doing inner work from the middle of it.
I offer online therapy for American expats in the UK and Europe, and for those navigating anxiety, trauma, codependency, and life transitions — wherever they are.

I have also trained with Tavistock Relationships in couples counselling for depression.
My client's well-being is at the core of my work as clinical psychotherapist. I am sensitive to how difficult it is to start a counselling/psychotherapy journey and how difficult it might be at times to make the first phone call to ask for support. I hope that my kindness, warmth and authenticity create the conditions for my clients to feel welcomed, appreciated, listened and understood.
Counselling is a journey of truth, opening up to deep inquiry and self exploration can reveal us the unexpected. Clients tell me that I am warm that they feel listened and understood in a non judgmental way.

I am trained and experienced in working with adult individuals, couples and groups.
Clients reach out to me because they are struggling within themselves, their work or their relationships. They might be feeling depressed, anxious, dreadful, stressed, overwhelmed, lonely, angry, empty, numb, purposeless, meaningless, traumatised, disconnected; yet not realise it. They might need to feel better, and live fulfilled lives. They may want to discover themselves and what would make them happy. At times people enter therapy in a crisis or for a multitude of other reasons and stay for various lengths of time. The time of entry is usually significant. Therapy is no longer a stigma; self development is now a norm.

In couples therapy I aim to facilitate contact between you and your partner.
Hi, my name is Marina, and I am a Gestalt Counsellor (MBACP) working at different locations across London, including South West (Clapham), South East (Crystal Palace), central London (St Pancras) and online. The idea of starting therapy can be daunting and finding the right therapist can feel bewildering, especially in moments of fragility and vulnerability. In addition to that, while some clients have a precise idea of what they want to work on, others are not clear about what it is that is not working. In both cases therapy can be a space to set some dedicated time aside with a professional to find perspective and clarity.

I work with adults, young people, couples and families experiencing challenges such as anxiety, relationship difficulties, life transitions, identity and belonging, professional challenges, and feelings of stuckness or dissatisfaction despite outward success.
The difficulties people experience are often closely connected to the relational and professional contexts within which their lives unfold. I offer a reflective space in which we can explore the patterns shaping your experiences and develop new ways of responding to the challenges you are facing.

My primary therapeutic grounding is in Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), an approach to change that’s solution focused, practical and geared towards achieving goals specific to your life circumstances and challenges you feel are holding you back. Over the years, I've done extensive professional training so I tailor my approach to each unique individual. My ideal client is curious, open to discussing and exploring ideas and keen to pursue lasting personal transformation. This a real challenge which takes great courage. Successful therapy requires some degree of trust in the process and collaborative therapeutic alliance.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or unsure where to turn, especially if life has thrown more at you than feels manageable. Many of the people I work with have spent years putting on a brave face, coping alone, or feeling misunderstood. You might be struggling with relationships, self-esteem, work stress, or the emotional impact of long-term health issues or past trauma. Whatever you’re facing, therapy can help you make sense of things, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Navigating life is a challenging task at the best of times and there are times when life may feel like anything BUT the best. Hi, my name is Yaela, and I work with clients on finding their inner strength and wisdom in order to navigate through life and its challenges.

Hi! My name is Maria Goga and I am a London based therapist. I work in an integrative way with a focus on the therapeutic relationship. My main methods are CBT, the person-centred approach, attachment theory, Gestalt and transactional analysis. I also have a background in the performing arts and use this experience in my therapeutic practice - I am very good at putting myself in someone else's shoes in a non-judgemental way. I believe unconditional positive regard and empathy are some of the most valuable things we can receive from another person, so offering that to my clients is vital to my work.

One area in particular I work in is helping individuals and couples navigate the complexities of relationships, fostering authentic connections that are both meaningful and enduring.
Do you find yourself caught in repeating patterns that leave you feeling stuck, anxious, overwhelmed, or dissatisfied despite your best efforts? Perhaps you struggle with self-criticism, procrastination, relationship difficulties, or a persistent sense of falling short. You may already understand your difficulties intellectually, yet still find yourself returning to the same painful reactions and outcomes. If so, therapy can help you uncover what internal and often hidden processes keep you stuck and reconnect you with a greater sense of direction, choice, and fulfilment.

FAQ - Marriage Counselling
What issues does marriage counselling help with?
Marriage counselling can address common relationship concerns, including ongoing conflict, communication challenges, emotional distance, or difficulty making decisions together. It may also be helpful for couples who are not currently experiencing major problems but want to prepare for future life changes. For more specific concerns affecting one individual in the relationship, such as trauma, depression, or significant substance use concerns, individual therapy may be more appropriate than marriage counselling.
When is the right time to start marriage counselling?
There is no single “right” time to start marriage counselling, but certain signs may suggest that counselling could be helpful. For example, a couple may benefit from counselling if many conversations end in conflict, if negative interactions are becoming more frequent, or if relationship stress is affecting other areas of life, such as sleep, work, parenting, or friendships. Some couples also seek counselling proactively. Premarital counselling, for instance, allows couples to discuss communication styles, finances, family dynamics, and future goals before getting married. Other couples may start counselling before a major life change, such as becoming parents, relocating, or navigating a stressful career transition.
Is marriage counselling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Marriage counselling may still help even if one partner is more hesitant to attend, as long as both people are ultimately willing to participate in sessions. Once counselling is underway, the more hesitant partner may become more open to sessions that can strengthen the relationship and build coping skills and communication strategies. If one partner refuses to attend, individual therapy may still help the other partner understand their needs, set boundaries, and decide how to approach the relationship.
Is online marriage counselling as effective as in-person?
There are differing opinions on the best format for marriage counselling. While some studies show that online marriage counselling can be as effective as in-person counselling, some argue that in-person counselling is more effective because it allows the therapist to better pick up on context and body language cues. In addition, in-person counselling may be a better fit for couples who are working through high-conflict issues. Ultimately, the “best” format depends on the couple’s specific needs and concerns.
What is faith-based marriage counselling and how is it different?
Faith-based marriage counselling incorporates a couple’s religious or spiritual beliefs into counselling. It may be a good fit for couples who want to discuss their relationship, values, and marriage within the context of their faith. For example, Christian marriage counselling may appeal to couples who want a counsellor familiar with Christian beliefs about marriage. Other forms of faith-based counselling may incorporate Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, or other religious perspectives into sessions.
How much does marriage counselling cost and is it covered by insurance?
Marriage counselling is usually paid for privately in Great Britain, rather than through the NHS, and sessions often cost around £60 to £120 or more. Fees depend on location, with costs generally higher in the London area, as well as counsellor experience, session length, and practice setting. However, lower-cost options may be available through sliding scale fees, which adjust the cost of counselling based on income, as well as through community clinics or non-profit organisations that offer reduced-cost services.
