Marina Abbate

Wednesday mornings I offer individual and couples therapy at the Awareness Centre in Clapham and I have currently limited availability. 

Individual counselling is £ 70 per session. 

Couples therapy is £ 90 per session.

Hi, my name is Marina, and I am a Gestalt counsellor (MBACP).

I am originally from Rome where I have trained and qualified as a psychologist and psychotherapist.

I have experience of delivering counselling in a variety of counselling services, including the NHS, working with individual, couples and groups.

I am interested in the dialogical (verbal and non-verbal) encounter between you and I and I am curious about how we relate one another and how this relationship can support your personal discovery and growth.

I believe that there are times when we really need a dedicated space to be held and listened to, that can facilitate the expression of our needs and desires hence the mobilisation of our resources to move on and beyond. 

In couples therapy, my aim is to transform conflict into connection and equip my clients with additional ways to communicate and be with each other.

My approach is Gestalt therapy, trauma informed and diversity empowering. I value and respect differences and I am interested in people’s creative adjustments to their life situations.

I encourage creativity, ‘response-ability’ and body-mind wholeness.

I see clients in person and online and if you want to know more, get in touch with me or visit my website https://counsellingwithmarina.com

I abide by the BACP code of ethics and I am committed to my continuous professional development, including ongoing supervision.

The first appointment is an opportunity to get a sense of each other, talk about what brings you to therapy and your expectations.

If you wish to commit to 50 minutes weekly sessions, we can then look at a time frame and contract for a certain amount of sessions with an approximate idea of what you would like to ‘take-away’ from this experience.

If you have any questions or you want to book an initial appointment, get in touch with me via the contact form or through my website.

Hi, my name is Marina, and I am a Gestalt counsellor (MBACP) working with individuals and couples.

I am originally from Rome where I have qualified as a psychologist and psychotherapist, working in a variety of services, including the Italian National Health Service.

I integrate my previous experiences and my ‘otherness’ in my practice, supporting my clients with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, life transitions and themes of identity and belonging.

I am interested in in the dialogical (verbal and non-verbal) encounter between you and I and I am curious about how we relate to each other and how this relationship can support your personal discovery and growth.

I focus on response-ability and support my clients discovering unexpressed aspects of themselves through experimentation and embodiment.

In my work with couples, I facilitate the transformation of conflict into connection and support my clients getting unstuck from habitual and sometimes unhelpful ways of relating to each other.
