About Marita
Marita Lashko is a BACP counsellor with over a decade of experience supporting adults in the United Kingdom. She has worked in a range of settings, including general practice, a charity offering low-cost therapy, independent practice and schools. Marita has experience in multicultural London and brings an awareness of how cultural background can shape experience and distress.
She helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, and depression. She also works with those facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, career uncertainty, anger and the aftermath of trauma.
Background and approach
Sessions are offered in English and reflect her person-centred, compassionate style. Her approach is integrative, built on a relational or client-centred foundation. She draws on solution-focused ideas to set achievable goals and on psychodynamic thinking to look at patterns that repeat over time.
Trauma-focused methods are used when past events continue to cause distress, and psychoeducation helps people understand links between mind and body. In sessions she aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental atmosphere where people can reflect and regain clarity. Therapy time is used to identify practical steps and to build skills for self-regulation.
Marita emphasises collaboration and honesty while helping people map out next steps during and after therapy. Her style is calm and compassionate and she recognises that asking for help takes courage. She encourages realistic pacing of change and supports people through difficult adjustments.
If someone is ready to begin, she invites them to take the first step.

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
She also integrates trauma-focused methods when past events continue to cause distress. This involves pacing the work, grounding techniques and helping people notice how memories or triggers affect daily life. Trauma-focused approaches can help those who carry repeated stress reactions or intrusive memories.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to agree what feels most helpful, adjust the focus as needs change and set clear, realistic goals together.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different circumstances. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options aim to make therapy flexible so people can fit sessions around work, family and day-to-day life.
