Marita Lashko

Marita Lashko is a qualified, accredited BACP therapist working in the United Kingdom, accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She brings 13 years of clinical experience across a range of settings including a doctors’ surgery, a low-cost charity organisation, private practice, and schools where she worked with parents, staff and pupils.

Based in London, Marita has worked with multi-cultural communities and, as someone of European heritage, recognises the impact of cultural diversity on people’s lives. Her clinical experience includes supporting adults with anxiety, grief and loss, depression, self-harm, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and trauma.

Her approach is integrative, grounded in a relational and person-centred foundation. She draws on a variety of models including solution-focused work, psychodynamic ideas, trauma-focused methods and mindfulness, with psychoeducation used to illuminate the mind-body connection.

Marita’s therapeutic stance is shaped by compassion and respect. She offers a supportive space to reflect, to refresh thinking and to explore the self with the aim of increasing self-awareness and regulation. Time in sessions is used to clarify and establish goals during therapy - and to support ongoing planning after therapy - empowering clients to map out next steps within an honest, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship.

Change can feel challenging and taking the first step often requires courage. Marita looks forward to meeting and working with individuals who seek support.
