About me




Hi, I’m Marianna

Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. My name is Marianna and I am a qualified and experienced Cognitive-Behavioural Psychotherapist and Counsellor based in Edinburgh. I offer both online and in-person sessions to support individuals on their journey toward healing, self-discovery, and empowerment.

Originally from Italy, I began my professional journey as a teacher of Modern Languages and Cultures, which gave me a deep appreciation for diversity and the power of communication. After moving to the UK, first to London and then to Edinburgh, I transitioned into psychotherapy—a field that aligns closely with my passion for helping others navigate life’s challenges with clarity and confidence.

My approach to therapy is holistic, grounded in the belief that the mind, body, and soul are deeply interconnected. I aim to create a warm, open, and non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, supported, and safe to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Together, we work to identify patterns, heal past wounds, and develop tools to build a more fulfilling and empowered life.

In addition to my broader work as a counsellor, I specialise in infertility counselling, offering tailored support to individuals and couples navigating the emotional challenges of infertility. I understand how deeply this experience can affect your mental health, relationships, and sense of self. My goal is to help you process these feelings, find balance, and build resilience during this deeply personal journey.

I also specialise in areas such as:

  • Building self-confidence and self-awareness
  • Stress and anxiety management
  • Navigating relationship issues and family conflicts
  • Inner child healing and trauma recovery

With over three years of professional experience in the UK, I have helped clients from diverse backgrounds and walks of life. Whether you are seeking to process difficult emotions, overcome trauma, or simply grow as a person, I am here to walk alongside you on this journey.

If you’re ready to take the first step, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I would be honoured to support you.
