She sees clients in person at London Bridge and online, and is the creator of AUTÊNTICA, a self-esteem programme for women who are ready to come back to themselves, launching in April 2026.Beyond the therapy room, Marina shares relationship psychology and self-awareness content with a growing audience on Instagram at @marina.does.therapy.
