About Marita
Marita Lashko is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom. She has 13 years of experience supporting adults through stress, anxiety and major life changes. Her style is warm and respectful and she focuses on helping people make sense of their reactions and plan practical next steps.
She has worked in a variety of settings including a GP surgery, a low-cost charity, independent practice and schools. That range has given her experience with common concerns such as grief, depression, low self-esteem, self-harm and relationship struggles.
Background and approach
She also brings an awareness of cultural diversity to her work. Marita uses an integrative approach with a person-centred foundation. She draws on solution-focused work to identify goals and practical strategies.
Psychodynamic ideas help to look at patterns from the past that keep repeating in daily life. For trauma-related difficulties she uses trauma-focused methods alongside mindfulness and psychoeducation. Sessions include explanation of reactions, simple techniques for emotional regulation, and time to reflect on what matters most to the client.
Her sessions aim to be collaborative. Together with the client she clarifies short-term goals and steps to move forward. The focus is on building insight and practical coping so people can manage stress and anxiety more effectively.
Therapeutic approaches and online support for anxiety and life change
Client-centred therapy places the person at the heart of the work and focuses on listening, acceptance and building a strong therapeutic relationship. This helps when someone needs time to be heard and to make sense of feelings such as anxiety or grief.Solution-focused therapy is practical and goal-oriented. It looks for small, achievable steps and strategies to reduce distress and improve daily functioning, which can be useful for stress, low mood and career or parenting challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods feel most helpful based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can evolve as therapy continues.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is useful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief updates, quick strategy work or when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep working on coping with anxiety and change.
