Marine Vernet

Marine Vernet is a counsellor who aims to walk alongside people for as long or as short as they need. She focuses on relationship difficulties, intimacy, identity, sexual concerns, self-esteem and recovery from abuse and trauma. She also works with anxiety, depression and low mood, and offers sessions in English and French.

She combines ideas from psychoanalysis, existential therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy to shape sessions around each person's needs. That mix is used to help clients understand their patterns, feel heard and work towards practical changes. Conversations are steady and straightforward rather than rushed or overly technical.

Marine helps people untangle difficult choices and questions about meaning, responsibility and change. She listens for what matters to each person and then explores ways to reconnect with partners, reshape identity, or live differently. Topics she commonly meets include abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, infidelity and concerns around kink and alternative sexual cultures.

Sessions aim to balance looking at past experiences with practical steps in the present and plans for the future. The space is described by her as non-judgemental and professional, where clients can reflect and make sense of things. Practical goals might include better communication, clearer boundaries, or managing anxiety and low mood.

Marine has three years of experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She works from the United Kingdom and is not taking international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Marine draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behaviour changes. This approach is often used for anxiety, stress and low mood because it focuses on practical steps and short-term strategies.

She also uses existential ideas that look at meaning, choice and responsibility. Those conversations suit people who are wrestling with identity, major life decisions or feelings of emptiness. Psychoanalytic perspectives are used to notice patterns that repeat across relationships and to bring those patterns into awareness for change.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to what matters most to the client and then try methods that feel useful. Over a few sessions they will adjust the focus so the work matches goals and preferences.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow sessions during a lunch break or from another quiet setting. It can also mean shorter check-ins when that suits the day, or avoiding video if that helps someone engage more comfortably.
