Marine Vernet
Therapist for relationship and intimacy concerns
About Marine
Marine Vernet offers a practical, conversational approach to therapy that draws on several evidence-based methods. She speaks English and French and aims to help people address relationship and intimacy issues, anxiety, stress and low mood. Marine presents therapy as a shared process where the client leads and she listens closely.
She focuses on intimacy, identity, sexual concerns, infidelity and trauma. She also helps with feelings of emptiness, codependency, jealousy and problems around commitment.
Background and approach
Practical day-to-day struggles such as stress and anxiety are part of her regular work. Marine integrates ideas from psychoanalytic thinking, existential therapy and cognitive behavioural approaches to tailor sessions to each person. That means talking about patterns from the past as well as what is happening now and what could change.
Conversations are grounded and aimed at finding manageable next steps. Sessions are a place to name difficult feelings and test new ways of being. Marine offers a non-judgemental space to look at fantasies, desire, kink and alternative sexual culture alongside wider relationship questions.
She supports people who are single as well as those seeking to reconnect with partners. With three years of experience and professional registrations of BACP and NCPS, Marine balances warmth with clear structure. To start, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Marine draws on several evidence-based techniques and adapts them for online sessions. Psychodynamic ideas help identify repeating patterns and unconscious themes that often affect relationships and self-image; this can be useful for issues like attachment or long-standing relational patterns. Existential therapy focuses on meaning, choice and responsibility, helping people facing questions about identity, direction and life changes. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at thoughts and behaviours that keep anxiety or low mood going and provide practical tools to test new ways of responding.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss what feels most relevant to the person’s goals and preferences and adjust the way sessions are run as the work develops. That means trying things out, checking what helps and shifting focus if needed so the work stays useful.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a short break or use less bandwidth, live chat suits quick check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family or other commitments and to choose a format that matches day-to-day needs.
