Marina Paparakou

Trust Issues, Confidence, Overwhelm, Sexual Abuse

"Marina is incredibly kind, committed and has a calming presence. She would never rush me and I always felt like I had her support, which was important to me when tackling experiences which I had always been ashamed of. Her approach is more personal than other therapists I have seen and she is also very pragmatic, which was ideal for me and maybe the issues we were dealing with. I would always recommend Marina."

Food & Weight Issues

"I was recommended Marina’s EFT sessions by a colleague who was seeing her for a fear of flying, I had mentioned to her my relationship with food and she wondered if Marina could help. I reached out to Marina who was confident that she could help me rediscover a healthy relationship with food and after looking at a research video of what EFT was I was a little sceptical that this would be the answer I had needed to stop myself from binge eating crisps and over eating at meal times. But I went along to the first session and I am so glad I did! Marina instantly made me feel comfortable and at ease and explained the process to me and I was keen to get going. I noticed a difference in my eating habits within days of my first session and since then I have a completely different relationship with my food, I have not stopped eating the food I was overeating, I am just now able to enjoy it without feeling guilty and it has helped me lose weight as I now subconsciously make better choices. Aside from the main issue we were tackling, I left every session with such high energy and a huge smile thanks to Marina, so much so that I am almost sad that my issue has now been resolved and I no longer need the sessions. However, Marina has equipped me for life with the skills to keep tapping should I need to and I can’t thank her enough!"

Migraines, Neck Pain, Anxiety, ME

"Marina is a beautiful soul and wonderful therapist. She worked with me, using Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT, or Tapping) via Skype, to relieve a variety of physical and emotional symptoms I’d had at that time including: M.E., frequent migraines, neck pain and anxiety. Marina showed such care, empathy and patience as we worked on each issue in turn until my symptoms were much improved. She guided me through each session, demonstrating the tapping points and suggesting suitable phrases to incorporate into each round of tapping. I now use EFT tapping with confidence to help keep my health and wellbeing on track. I will always be so grateful to Marina for helping me to get through what was a very challenging time in my life and I would certainly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and compassionate therapist.
