Drawing on Psychosynthesis, Internal Family Systems, and somatic approaches, her practice centres on the patterns that keep people stuck: people-pleasing, anxious attachment, blurred boundaries, and the quiet erosion of self-worth that often goes unnoticed until it’s gone too far. She sees clients in person at London Bridge and online, and is the creator of AUTÊNTICA, a self-esteem programme for women who are ready to come back to themselves, launching in April 2026. Beyond the therapy room, Marina shares relationship psychology and self-awareness content with a growing audience on Instagram at @marina.does.therapy.
