Her background includes adult therapeutic work in a doctors' surgery, low-cost charity organisations, private practice, and supporting parents, staff and pupils within schools, and she currently works with multicultural communities in London. Having European heritage herself, she brings an awareness of cultural influences that can shape a person’s experience.

She has supported people facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, grief and loss, depression, self-harm, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and trauma. Marita’s practice is integrative, grounded in a relational - person-centered foundation, and informed by solution-focused, psychodynamic and trauma-focused methods alongside mindfulness and psychoeducation to explain how mind and body interact.

Her therapeutic stance is marked by compassion and respect, recognising the courage it takes to seek support. Sessions are designed to give time to reflect, broaden awareness, explore emotional responses and build regulation skills. Through collaborative goal-setting, therapy aims to clarify next steps and empower clients to plan for life after therapy in an honest, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Work and How They Help

Marita draws on client-centered, psychodynamic and trauma-focused approaches to guide online therapy in an accessible way. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-directive relationship where the therapist helps the person explore feelings and values - it is useful for building self-esteem, coping with life changes and improving everyday relationships. Psychodynamic therapy explores patterns from past experiences and how they influence current feelings and behaviour - it can help when recurrent relationship problems, long-standing anxiety or depressive patterns are present. Trauma-focused therapy targets responses to traumatic events and supports processing, regulation and recovery from abuse or overwhelming experiences.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Marita collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the focus as understanding grows and priorities change. This collaborative process helps clients feel involved in shaping how therapy proceeds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit support around work, family and daily life and to connect from different locations. For many people these options increase access to consistent, ongoing support and allow therapists and registered professionals to tailor communication styles to what feels most helpful.
