About Marine
Counsellor Marine Vernet is a member of BACP and NCPS with three years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues and depression. She offers sessions in English and French and is based in the United Kingdom.
Marine describes therapy as a conversation. She listens and helps people make sense of what they are facing now. Sessions focus on what feels most urgent, whether that is a recurring low mood, panic, problems with trust, or a difficult event from the past.
Her practice draws on psychoanalytic ideas, existential thinking and cognitive behavioural approaches. In plain terms this means looking at patterns from the past, the choices and meaning someone gives to their life, and practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Marine mixes these viewpoints so the work fits the person sitting in front of her.
Common topics she sees include intimacy, identity, sexual issues, infidelity and kink-related questions, attachment and abandonment worries, codependency and problems with commitment. She also works with people living with HIV and with issues such as isolation, jealousy and narcissism-related concerns.
Sessions aim to clarify what someone wants and to find practical next steps. Marine offers to discuss how therapy might work in a short initial conversation. People can expect straightforward language and a calm, professional manner.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling
Marine often uses psychoanalytic ideas, which involve looking at recurring patterns and themes from a person's past and how they show up today. This can help with attachment worries, repeated relationship problems and feelings of emptiness.She also draws on existential thinking, which asks about meaning, choice and responsibility. That approach suits people who are struggling with identity, life direction or decisions about change. Cognitive behavioural techniques are part of her work too and provide practical steps to manage anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thought patterns.
Finding the right mix is part of the work. The therapist will discuss preferences, goals and what feels most useful and then shape sessions together with the client. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan handed down in advance.
The original profile does not name specific session formats, so confirm which options are available before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, for example by removing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in between commitments, or offering a choice when camera use is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to remote work so that the focus remains on practical steps and on understanding patterns that matter to the client.
