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.
As a Gestalt trained therapist I focus on the present moment, informed by past experiences and the expectations for the future, encouraging creativity, ‘response-ability’ and body-mind wholeness.
In individual therapy I am interested in the dialogical (verbal and non-verbal) encounter between you and I and I am curious about how we relate to each other and how this relationship can support your personal discovery and growth. In couples therapy I aim to facilitate contact between you and your partner.
