About Marita

Marita Lashko is a counsellor with BACP registration and over 13 years of experience in the UK. She has worked in a range of settings, including GP surgeries, charity services, independent practice and schools. Marita has spent much of her career supporting people from multicultural communities in London and brings an awareness of cultural factors to her work.

Her practice focuses on everyday problems such as stress, anxiety, bereavement and low mood.

Background and approach

She also helps with issues related to trauma and abuse, self-esteem, anger, parenting pressures, relationship difficulties, career concerns and coping with life changes. Sessions aim to be calm and straightforward so people can talk without feeling rushed. Marita uses a relational, person-centred foundation and draws on other approaches to match each person’s needs.

She blends solution-focused ideas with psychodynamic and trauma-informed thinking to help people understand patterns and try practical changes. Psychoeducation and mindfulness are used when helpful to explain how the mind and body interact. Her style is warm and respectful, emphasising compassion and honest reflection.

Sessions are used to set clear goals and build practical steps for life after therapy. The therapy room is described as a place to reflect, refresh thinking and gain greater self-awareness. Marita encourages taking the first step even when change feels hard.

Prospective clients are invited to start with a short matching process and then arrange sessions according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement and helps people lead the conversation. This approach suits someone who needs a steady, empathetic space to voice worries and explore feelings.

Solution-focused therapy looks at what is already working and small steps that move life forward. It is practical and goal oriented, useful for coping with specific problems like stress, work issues or relationship strain. Trauma-focused therapy recognises the impact of past harm and offers ways to work with strong reactions. It includes strategies to build safety and reduce distress when talking about difficult memories.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to each person’s goals and preferences. People often try a mix of approaches and adjust as work progresses.

Online therapy through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging offers flexibility for busy lives. Video sessions allow face-to-face contact, phone sessions work well with lower bandwidth, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats help fit therapy around work, family and daily routines while keeping the focus on progress and practical change.
