Strawberry Fields Therapy - Newquay

Christian Aldridge

Marina is empathetic, insightful, and highly approachable. She creates a supportive environment where I feel comfortable discussing anything without fear of judgement. Her extensive knowledge of multi-disciplinary treatments is evident and has been instrumental in helping me gain a deeper understanding of myself. Beyond just raising awareness of unconscious harmful behaviours, Marina’s straightforward and pragmatic approach has been key to implementing meaningful, positive changes in my life. I particularly value her ability to balance understanding with accountability, ensuring that our sessions are not only reflective but also solution-focused. Marina was recommended to me by a trusted friend, and I wouldn’t hesitate to do the same.

I have worked with Marina for a few months, although I had to interrupt our sessions to prioritise other aspects of my life.

Marina is very professional, highly skilled, and yet warm and welcoming. She held the space for me beautifully and was very patient if I got emotional or distressed.
I chose her because she has a Mediterranean background and me being Italian, I felt she would understand me better culturally.
Also, I work in social care and I am aware that spiritual people are often seen as, to say the least, "very imaginative people", so I am always worried of judgement if I share some experiences of mine. I didn't need to worry with Marina, as she was able to relate to my experiences and responded suggesting actions that were relatable for me as a spiritual person, which is not something all therapists would be able to do.
I will totally go back when I can prioritise it again. Totally reccomend. Thank you Marina!

Marina is a very professional, compassionate and engaging therapist who made me feel seen and heard on my healing journey. She was informative about the challenges I faced, often giving reading recommendations and homework exercises for outside my EDMR sessions, to support my process. I feel very honoured to work with her and recommend her to anyone who wishes to start therapy. Thank you Marina.

I would thoroughly recommend EMDR sessions with Marina. She was able to make me feel very safe whilst working through some painful memories. I’ve since felt a significant shift in my beliefs about myself. Thanks so much Marina xxx

Marina changed my life! She is an incredibly effective and competent therapist, but she's also patient, kind and understanding. I would not be in the happy, healthy place I am now were it not for her. Thank you!

Marina is so empowering and challenges me just the right amount to take action and address things that have been holding me back. EMDR therapy with her has been incredibly healing. It was such a surprise to feel so great after re-processing tricky things. I am so grateful. Even though I am having therapy online, I can feel her warmth and grounded energy. She is very talented – I wholeheartedly recommend her!

Marina is amazing, I had been to therapy previously and felt really disheartened by the advice I had received, but Marina offered a whole different league of therapy! I went into it feeling negative about everything in my life and Marina was able to help me work through my issues and give me tools to help moving forward. I finished therapy feeling happy in myself and felt like a totally different person . I could not recommend her more!

Marina is an excellent professional. She creates a warm safe and understanding environment in which to share your feelings and difficulties. She is very friendly, caring and encourages you to have a positive outlook. She matches her approach to suit your needs. If you are willing to put the work in and practise the strategies you will gain success. I had several sessions with Marina and she helped me to overcome my anxiety and depression. I highly recommend her.
