I am a qualified accredited BACP therapist working in the UK. My experience over the last 14 years has involved adult work in a doctors’ surgery, a low cost charity organisation, private practice, and in schools working with parents, staff and pupils. I work in London with multi-cultural communities, and therefore understand cultural issues and as being of European heritage myself, I can appreciate the impact of cultural diversity.
I have worked with clients with a wide range of issues including, anxiety, grief & loss, depression, self-harm, low self-esteem, relationship issues and trauma.
My way of working is integrative. The foundation of my approach is relational/person-centred. I use models such as solution-focused, psychodynamic, trauma focused
and mindfulness. Psychoeducation supports the understanding of the mind and body connection.
My therapy style is based on compassion and respect. It takes courage to ask for help. Sometimes it is unclear why we feel a certain way or react in a certain way. Our sessions
will give you time and safe place to reflect, refresh your thinking, explore yourself experiencing deeper self-awareness and regulation. The time in the sessions will help establish your goals (and after therapy too), and empower you to map out your next steps in an honest and non-judgemental therapeutic connection.
Change can be difficult and challenging. Hope you take the first step.
I look forward to meeting you and working with you.
Additional areas of focus: Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Parenting issues, Anger management, Career difficulties, Coping with life changes
Clinical approaches: Client-Centered Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy

Written on Feb 16, 2025 after therapy with Marita for 4 months on issues concerning depression
Marita gives me an open space to explain my thoughts and feelings and has helped me to understand what I'm going through. She's extremely sincere and always asks if I'm okay at the end of each session and tells me to be kind to myself which is a really nice note to end on.

Written on Jun 11, 2024 after therapy with Marita for 7 months on issues concerning relationship issues, and grief
My weekly sessions with Marita are extremely helpful. Even though the topics we discuss can be difficult, I always end a session feeling supported, understood and stronger for the week ahead. I'm given time and space to process events in my past and present, as well as tools to put into practice during my daily life outside of therapy. Our sessions are always on time and I never feel pressured to come to a sudden or unnatural end. I cannot recommend Marita enough, after only a few sessions I was beginning to see improvements in my mood and outlook. Her time and expertise have been , and will continue to be, an incredible help; vital in my journey to improve my mental health. Working with her would be as beneficial for anyone else looking to start improving their own mental health and daily life.

I had weekly video sessions with Marita for a few months during a stressful period in my life. Her help was extremely valuable to me; she didn't only give me tools and ideas in how to better handle stressful situations but she also helped me understand where my triggers came from and see things from other perspectives. I would strongly recommend her!
