Dr Marta Koch PhD, MPH

I am a qualified psychotherapeutic therapist and counsellor and am completing further training in psychotherapy (transactional analysis) and psychoanalysis.

I incorporate a variety of talking therapies into my work, drawing on my experience in supporting clients through a wide range of challenges, including bereavement, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, self-esteem issues, anxiety and depression. But I’m also a great believer in therapy as an opportunity to foster personal growth.

I’m currently welcoming new clients at Finchley and online. My aim is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard and understood. Our sessions will take place in a calm, comfortable, and private setting.

To start, I offer a free 20-minute phone or Zoom consultation. This gives us an opportunity to explore what’s bringing you to therapy and meet each other briefly. If we decide to work together, we’ll meet for 50-minute sessions, usually once a week. The therapy is open-ended; some people attend only a few weeks; others will stay for years. There is no right or wrong and we will always prioritise what feels most helpful for you. Above all, my hope is that therapy becomes a space where you can grow, heal, and experience meaningful change in your life.

I am a member of the United Kingdom Association for Transactional Analysis (UKATA) and British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and I abide by their codes of ethics.

A bit about me and my training:

I have trained in person-centred therapy, attachment-related psychotherapy, group analysis, and transactional analysis. I hold a Doctorate in Biomedical Sciences and a Masters in Public Health, and have experience in working at the intersection of chronic disease and mental health, both at individual and population level.

Having moved around quite a bit, a journey that has been both enriching and challenging, I am now settled in London with my family and our dog.
