Marine Vernet

Marine Vernet offers a warm, straightforward approach to therapy. She works with people on relationship matters, intimacy, identity and sexual concerns, and on anxiety or low mood. She speaks English and French and brings three years of professional experience to conversations about change.

Her practice blends elements from psychoanalysis, existential therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy, using what fits each person. Sessions are conversation-based and focused on listening first. The aim is to help people make sense of their feelings and find practical ways forward.

Marine often supports clients dealing with trauma, abuse, infidelity and the difficulties that come after separation. She also works with issues around attachment, abandonment and codependency, and with people exploring kink, BDSM and alternative sexual culture. Those struggling with emptiness, isolation or jealousy can also find targeted support.

She uses gentle but direct questioning to help people examine past patterns and current choices. The work addresses both meaning and day-to-day coping so people can act in ways that match their values. Sessions explore identity, desires and relationships without judgement.

Marine aims to create a calm, professional space where people can reflect and plan next steps. She encourages realistic goals and practical changes as well as deeper reflection. If you prefer to speak in French, she can offer therapy in that language.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Marine blends psychoanalytic, existential and cognitive behavioural ways of working. Psychoanalytic ideas help look at patterns from the past and how they repeat now, which can be useful for attachment and abandonment issues. Existential approaches focus on meaning, choice and responsibility, helping people who are wrestling with identity or life-direction questions. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at thoughts and behaviours and offer practical tools for anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right blend is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which approach or mix fits their needs and goals, checking in and adjusting the plan as work progresses.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Please confirm the current session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Many clients find remote sessions help them keep continuity of care and reduce travel time, while allowing for the same kind of conversational work and practical skill-building that happens in person.
