Hi, and welcome.

I'm Rochelle. I'm an integrative psychotherapist, working online with clients across the UK and Europe.

My clinical experience spans the NHS, Kingston Women’s Centre, Headstrong Counselling and ASCA (Richmond upon Thames), where I have supported people experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including relationship and family issues, separation, bereavement, loneliness, abuse, addiction, mental health difficulties and challenges relating to health, identity and significant life changes.

In my private practice, I work with people affected by coercive control and the lasting effects of trauma, as well as anxiety, depression, shame, guilt, self-criticism and low self-esteem. I also support people navigating relationship difficulties, emotional distress, work-related pressures and questions of identity and self-worth.

Specialist Interest

I have a particular interest in supporting people affected by coercive and controlling behaviour in intimate relationships. Alongside my clinical practice, I deliver specialist training on stalking and coercive control to qualified and trainee psychotherapists at a specialist women's centre. This work is informed by my own research into these areas.

My Approach

At the heart of my work is the therapeutic relationship. I take a holistic, integrative approach, seeking to understand you as an individual and the experiences that have shaped you. I value creating a genuine connection where you feel heard, understood and able to explore what matters to you.

I offer both short-term therapy (typically 6-12 sessions) and longer-term, open-ended therapy, depending on your needs and what you hope to gain from our work together.

Professional Practice

I work in accordance with the BACP Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions (2026) and undertake regular clinical supervision and continuing professional development (CPD) to support ethical, reflective and responsible practice.

If you are considering therapy, I would be happy to hear from you.

You are welcome to send an enquiry through the contact form or email me directly at rochelle@rochellemarashi.com

We will use our first session to explore what has brought you to therapy, your background, significant life experiences and past and present relationships. We will also discuss what you hope to gain from our work together.

There is no need to share everything at once. We can take things at your pace, allowing space for whatever feels most important to you.

Ongoing Therapy

Sessions last 50 minutes and take place weekly, on the same day and at the same time, providing a consistent space for reflection and exploration.

Therapy is open-ended, with no obligation to commit to a fixed number of sessions. We can review your needs and the focus of our work together as therapy progresses

Sessions are charged at £70. Payment is made in advance via online bank transfer. A minimum of 48 hours' notice is required for cancellations or changes to appointments.
