Marina Vishnevskaya

You may be someone who is used to managing and carrying a lot on your own. You keep going and may appear to be doing well from the outside. But perhaps something has changed, and you are finding yourself struggling in ways you haven’t before.

I’m Marina, a therapist offering in-person therapy near London Bridge and online. I offer a space for your mind, body, and the parts of yourself that can be harder to put into words.

You might be experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, grief, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, or the impact of difficult family experiences or childhood trauma. Perhaps you feel stressed, burnt out, depressed, or disconnected from yourself. Sometimes you simply sense that something isn’t right, or that familiar ways of coping are no longer working.

Many people learn early in life to be self-reliant and set their needs aside to manage difficult circumstances. Therapy can offer a space to slow down, understand what is happening beneath the surface, and reconnect with what you need.

You may come to therapy following a loss, during difficulties in a relationship or at work, when relocating or adapting to life somewhere new, or when you no longer feel at home in your life.

I often work with thoughtful, capable people navigating demanding careers and high-pressure environments. Having worked in professional services, I understand how work and achievement can affect your wellbeing, relationships and sense of self.

My approach is integrative and trauma-informed. I draw on different therapeutic perspectives depending on what feels helpful for you. Together, we can explore your experiences, emotions and patterns, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself and what you need.

If this resonates, please get in touch to arrange an initial conversation.

Alongside talking things through, I may invite you to pay attention to emotions, bodily sensations, images, dreams, or other aspects of your experience that are harder to put into words. This is influenced in part by my background in yoga, which taught me the value of listening to what the body may be communicating alongside the mind. I am interested not only in what you think about your life, but also in how you experience it.

Often, the ways we learn to cope with difficult experiences make sense in the context of our lives, even when they begin to cause difficulties later on. Together, we can explore how patterns from earlier experiences continue to shape your relationships, choices, and sense of self today, and whether they are still working for you.

My aim is not to turn you into someone different, but to help you develop a more understanding relationship with yourself and greater freedom to choose how you want to live.

Having lived in three different countries and cultures, I have a personal understanding of what it can mean to leave familiar surroundings behind, adapt to new environments, and search for a sense of belonging. I value working with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, genders, sexualities, and life experiences. I offer therapy in both English and Russian.

I hold a Diploma in Integrative Transpersonal Counselling from Re-Vision Centre for Counselling & Psychotherapy in London and am a registered psychotherapeutic counsellor with both BACP and UKCP.

I offer both open-ended and time-limited therapy. Sessions are available in person near London Bridge and online.

I work with adults aged 18 or over.

Starting therapy and sharing personal experiences with someone new can feel like a big step, so it’s important to find someone you feel a connection with. That’s why I offer a free 15-minute introductory call.

During this call, we can discuss how therapy works, what you hope to get out of it, and I can answer any questions about my approach. It’s a chance to see whether we might be a good fit and whether you feel comfortable moving forward.

If we decide to proceed, the first session will be a consultation. I may ask a few questions about your relationships and family, and you’ll have space to share what’s bringing you to therapy at this time.

In ongoing sessions, you’re welcome to bring whatever feels most important to you. Together, we’ll build a trusting relationship and find a way of working that feels right for you.

Sessions are usually held weekly, on the same day and at the same time, to provide consistency and stability.

Please contact me for availability.
