About Marita
Marita Lashko is a BACP counsellor with over 13 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She has worked in GP surgeries, low-cost charity services, independent practice and schools, and has a background supporting multicultural communities in London. Marita draws on this varied history to understand how culture and life circumstances shape people’s struggles.
She helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and self-harm. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, family and parenting pressures, anger, career worries and major life changes.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what is causing distress and practical ways to move forward. Her core approach is relational and client-centred, meaning the relationship and the person’s experience guide the work. She combines this with psychodynamic ideas, solution-focused techniques and trauma-focused methods, using psychoeducation and mindfulness where helpful.
The emphasis is on understanding feelings and reactions, rather than labels. In sessions Marita aims to be compassionate and respectful. People are given space to reflect, notice patterns and build clearer steps toward their goals.
Therapy is paced to each person’s needs, and the aim is to leave with tools for regulating emotions and making changes beyond the room. She presents therapy as a collaborative process. Early work often involves clarifying goals and mapping practical next steps.
Marita encourages honesty, curiosity and patience as the foundations for steady progress.

Approaches Marita lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Marita will work with clients to decide which approach fits best. She uses the first sessions to understand needs, set goals and try out ways of working together. The choice of methods is collaborative and can change over time as new issues come up or goals evolve.
Online therapy is offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations when seeing facial cues matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief reflections, ongoing support between sessions or when writing feels more helpful than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments, while keeping the focus on progress and practical tools.
