About Marita

Marita Lashko is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 13 years of experience supporting adults. She has worked in GP surgeries, a low-cost charity, independent practice and in schools, which gave her experience talking with parents, staff and pupils. She practises in London and has experience with multicultural communities.

Her work covers stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps people with relationship concerns, family and parenting questions, anger, career issues and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

These are practical concerns people bring when they need steady space to think. Marita uses an integrative, relational approach that centres the person in the room. Client-centred work forms the foundation, and she blends in psychodynamic, solution-focused and trauma-focused methods when helpful.

She also uses mindfulness and psychoeducation to explain how the mind and body connect. Sessions aim to be compassionate and respectful. Marita gives time to reflect and to notice patterns in feelings and reactions.

Together the client and counsellor clarify short-term goals and practical next steps for life after therapy. Her style is calm and straightforward. She encourages honesty and steady progress, and she invites people to take that first step when they feel ready.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How her approaches work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and responding to what feels most important to the person in front of her. Online sessions use that same attentive listening to help clients feel heard and to build their own insights about feelings and choices.

Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on understanding the effects of past traumatic events and building tools to manage reactions. In remote sessions this can mean pacing work carefully and using grounding and psychoeducation to help people regulate when memories or strong emotions come up.

Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns that repeat over time and the relationships that shape them. Conversations online can reveal these patterns and help people connect current struggles to earlier experiences in a reflective way.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods as therapy progresses. Clients and therapist make decisions together about pace and focus.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and have fuller conversation. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier around work breaks. Live chat or text-based messaging suits brief check-ins, journalling-style reflection or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the therapeutic work central.
