About Marine

Marine Vernet is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS in the United Kingdom, with three years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship pain, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and depression. Sessions are offered in English and French.

Marine frames therapy as a conversation. She focuses on relationship concerns such as intimacy, infidelity, sexual identity and desire, and the push-pull of codependent patterns. She also helps with anxiety, low mood, and questions about meaning, choice and change.

Her work draws on psychoanalytic ideas, existential thinking and cognitive behavioural approaches, blended to suit each person. That means talking about past experiences when they matter, looking at current patterns that keep causing pain, and trying practical steps that change daily life.

In sessions she listens for how people lose themselves in others, struggle to say no, or stay in relationships that drain them. Conversations include looking at attachments, fears of abandonment, jealousy and issues around commitment or dependency. She also addresses topics linked to sexual expression and alternative sex cultures.

Marine describes therapy as helping people find direction and clearer choices. She works on understanding patterns, testing new ways of relating, and rebuilding a sense of self outside others' demands. If you speak French, she can offer work in that language as well.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Marine draws on psychoanalytic ideas to look at how early attachments and repeated patterns influence current relationships. This approach is useful when someone wants to understand why they keep repeating the same behaviours or feel stuck in familiar roles.

She also uses existential thinking to address questions of meaning, choice and responsibility. That helps when the work centres on identity, life direction or the struggle to make changes that fit personal values.

Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small, practical changes in daily life. These steps can reduce anxiety and support clearer boundaries in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what seems most useful for your concerns, goals and preferences, and adjust the mix as you go. That collaboration helps link insight with actions you can try between sessions.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins on busy days, or remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can help arrange a pattern of sessions that suits your day-to-day life.
