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.

More about Marita
- 13 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
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.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Marita has been really helpful and supportive.
Marita is extremely kind and considering. Talking to her calms me down.
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!
Super helpful and pleasant to talk to
Marita has been amazing the last few months and has helped me immensely during probably the most turbulent point in my life. Helped with unpacking and discussing some personal issues after going through relationship changes, some big personal health scares and a job change. She helped me figure out some issues and ways to combat them to improve myself. Always kind and understanding. Highly recommend.
Marita listens to what I have to say and I feel as though she's judging me. She has helped me to look at things from a different perspective and I find my sessions with her helpful.
Amazing person, really allowed me to talk. But as well made my feelings feel valid. She allowed me to understand my feelings, and instead of fighting them, just trying to figure out a way to calm them. She explained my feelings to me as well to better understand and really pushed me (in a good way) to find the answer my self.
Very kind and understanding, she has helped me understanding my emotions and why, she has also given me ways of coping which has helped me a lot
Very helpful, recognises my needs & gives me ways of dealing with my difficulties.
*Amazing* So I’m still early on with my journey of coping with anxiety/ social anxiety. Marita is very understanding, and video calls / appointments are always on time and being a very anxious person punctuality is key for me and Marita is always on time . I highly recommend Marita . There is so many strategies Marita has given me to try to see what works for me & to be honest i always feel amazing after every session & no longer feel alone in dealing with anxiety .
