Marina emphasises seeing you as a whole, acknowledging context, diversity and individuality. She understands the nuances of acculturation and finding stability in constant transition, particularly for people who have grown up between cultures or countries.

Marina’s field of expertise is in eating disorders, having published research in the British Journal of Psychiatry and having trained at the South London and Maudsley Eating Disorder Service. She is passionate about keeping up with research to offer the best possible care and adapting therapy to today’s increasingly digital world. Her current doctoral thesis focuses on how social media and Internet use can be understood and addressed in eating disorder treatment.

By walking alongside you, Marina will support you in understanding deeper levels of your unique experiences.

When not working, Marina enjoys a DIY project and getting creative. She’s an avid knitter who loves to travel. As her name would suggest, she is happiest when by the sea.
