As a Spanish emigrant in Scotland, it was a huge relief when I found Psychology in Edinburgh through a Google search. There was finally a place where I could attend in-person therapy! At that time, I was suffering from severe depression that had worsened due to difficulties in my relationship, my job, and being far from my loved ones. The therapy process was like a journey that completely transformed me. Thanks to Marina, I learned to address the root causes of my problems and develop habits and resources that I still use months after finishing therapy. My only regret has been not starting much, much sooner.

In this practice, I've not only found a highly skilled therapist but also someone deeply engaged, able to create a safe space where I felt comfortable opening up and sharing my thoughts without fear. She didn't just help me resolve the issue I came for—she also supported me with other challenges, even those I was initially reluctant to address. The entire therapy process was at my own pace; I never felt pressured to do anything, and I always left each session feeling I'd made the most of it. I've recommended Psychology in Edinburgh to a couple of people, and they're both thrilled with it.

Returning to work after surgery during the first lockdown made me feel unable of facing daily work challenges or moving forward. The support I found in Marina during our sessions helped me understand that it's normal to feel this way at certain points in life. By putting her tools into practice, I was able to identify the causes, accept that I wasn't weak for feeling this way, and find solutions to feel better. Learning to understand myself better hasn't been easy, but I'm convinced it's making me stronger—and the sessions have helped me face difficult situations, love myself, accept myself, and forgive myself more.
