About Mariana
We achieve our highest potential not by separating our professional and personal selves, but by bringing them into harmony.
Originating from the heart of Moldova, a hidden gem in Eastern Europe, I was raised in a culture steeped in rich traditions and surrounded by a community that cherished family, deep human connections, and the significance of staying true to one’s roots. Moldova’s spirit of warmth and wisdom has been a guiding force in my life.
My professional path began in the high-energy realm of venture capital. It was in this demanding environment, surrounded by incredibly talented and insightful colleagues, that I discovered my passion for the complexities of the human mind. This revelation led me to pivot my career and pursue training as a clinical psychologist, embarking on what I like to think of as my own hero’s journey.
Your life doesn't magically improve by random happenstance, it transforms and flourishes when you embrace deliberate, purposeful change.

Facilitating Growth Through Therapeutic Support
Professional Credentials
Commitment to Growth and Excellence in Therapy
I believe that a therapist should always be learning and growing, continuously evolving their skills to provide the best possible care. My dedication to professional development and ethical practice is the cornerstone of my career.
Core Areas of Expertise
Clinical Psychology
My journey began with a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology, which provided a comprehensive foundation for my work in understanding and supporting mental health.
Psychoanalysis
I advanced my understanding of the unconscious mind through rigorous training in psychoanalysis at the École Internationale de Psychanalyse Appliquée. This training enables me to help clients uncover and navigate the underlying patterns shaping their lives.
Jungian Analysis
To further enrich my practice, I trained with the Guild of Analytical Psychologists in London. This experience strengthened my application of Jungian concepts in therapy, allowing me to work with archetypes, symbols, and the deeper layers of the psyche in a transformative way.
Systemic Constellations
Recognising the importance of integrating the mind and body in therapy, I became a facilitator of systemic constellations. This approach helps me address the somatic experiences that often emerge during psychotherapy, offering a holistic and embodied pathway to healing.
Imago Therapy
Currently, I am pursuing training in Imago Therapy for Couples, expanding my expertise in relational dynamics. This specialization enables me to guide couples in fostering emotional connection and resolving relational challenges with empathy and practical tools.
Professional Standards
As an HCPC-registered clinical psychologist (PYL043759), I am dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of care and professionalism. Through continuous learning and an integrative approach, I strive to create a safe and empowering space for clients to explore, heal, and grow.
