About Marine
Marine Vernet works on relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma, anxiety, depression and related issues, using a conversational approach that blends psychanalysis, existential ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), and has three years' experience practising in the United Kingdom.
She focuses on matters such as intimacy, identity, infidelity, sexual expression, and abuse. Sessions are presented as conversations where clients are invited to speak about their difficulties and think through choices and values. Marine offers counselling in English and French.
In practice she draws on psychoanalytic perspectives to explore how past experiences shape present patterns, existential questions to examine meaning and responsibility, and cognitive behavioural techniques to address anxious or low mood symptoms. These approaches are mixed to suit what each person finds helpful rather than applied in a fixed order.
Topics commonly addressed include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, commitment concerns, feelings of emptiness, and difficulties around sexuality including BDSM and kink. She also works with the impact of HIV/AIDS, loneliness, jealousy, narcissistic dynamics, and men's issues.
Sessions aim to identify practical steps as well as deeper understanding. Marine will look at past influences but emphasise present choices and future direction. To begin, prospective clients are asked to use the site matching process to arrange an initial appointment.
Therapeutic methods explained and online counselling
She integrates psychoanalytic perspectives, which look at how early relationships and past patterns influence current feelings and behaviour; this approach can help when repeating relationship patterns or unresolved attachment issues are a concern. She also uses existential ideas to help people consider questions of meaning, choice and responsibility, useful when someone is struggling with direction or life changes. Cognitive behavioural techniques are employed to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can help with anxiety and low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss what feels most useful and adapt the mix of methods according to the client's goals, preferences and what emerges in sessions. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work, travel less, or have shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows sessions in English or French and can be arranged following the site's matching questionnaire and scheduling steps.
