Hello, I’m Marina, a clinical neuropsychologist and psychologist.
My work grew from a curiosity about the human mind and its many forms of expression and resilience, which led me to study psychology alongside different forms of art. This has shaped my interest in integrating evidence-based psychological approaches with body awareness and embodiment.
I offer one-to-one psychotherapy sessions as a space to slow down, notice what is moving within you, and develop a deeper understanding of your needs, boundaries and patterns. I aim to create a safe and peaceful environment where you can simply be, receive attentive listening and care, and discover different aspects of yourself.
I welcome anyone who would like to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their inner world.
I can support people experiencing:
- Anxiety, stress and depressive symptoms
- Trauma and PTSD
- Psychological and gender-based violence
- Self-esteem and emotional regulation difficulties
- Eating disorders and body image difficulties
- ADHD and neurodevelopmental difficulties
- Autism spectrum, with particular experience working with autistic women
- Relational difficulties and recurring interpersonal patterns
- Life transitions and periods of personal change
- Difficulties with body awareness and the mind-body relationship
My background in clinical neuropsychology and evidence-based psychotherapy allows me to approach psychological difficulties through an understanding of attention, emotional regulation, executive functioning, stress responses and the ways in which our brains adapt to everyday life.
My approach is both structured and exploratory, grounded in clinical knowledge while remaining attentive to the complexity, individuality and embodied nature of human experience.
I am particularly interested in working with aspects that may be difficult to access or to put into words, focusing on sensation through bodily awareness, drawing, movement and other forms of expression.
The therapeutic process is co-creative. We establish goals together, reflect on how the work is progressing, and adapt the approach according to your needs, resources and pace.
Some insurers, including JSIS, only reimburse psychotherapy prescribed by a psychiatrist. A one-time psychiatric evaluation can be arranged here. Check in advance what your insurer requires, such as prior authorisation: the reimbursement decision is ultimately theirs.
