Marietta Young

Marietta Young is a psychotherapist and art psychotherapist at Nightingale Hospital London, where she works with patients experiencing a wide range of mental health conditions. These include behavioural addictions, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, stress, schizophrenia, interpersonal difficulties, phobias, and Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorders (OSFED).

She offers treatment through art therapy, psychotherapy, eating disorder treatment, and addiction treatment. Marietta has extensive experience delivering both individual and group therapy in inpatient, day patient, and outpatient settings. She works flexibly with patients in both brief and long-term therapy formats, and has experience in both private and NHS healthcare services.

Her therapeutic approach is patient-centred and rooted in psychodynamic principles. Marietta encourages creativity as a safe, non-threatening method of expression, which supports personal development and change. She applies this in both individual and group settings, where she facilitates a supportive environment for patients to explore their emotions. She also has a specific area of expertise in anger management, which she addresses in both individual therapy and within specialist groups, such as those focusing on addiction.

In addition to her clinical work, Marietta has conducted research in art psychotherapy and its application in her areas of special interest. She established and curates a gallery of patient artwork at Nightingale Hospital, which has received positive recognition in the national press. The gallery contributes to a therapeutic hospital environment and continues to be a source of inspiration and healing for both patients and staff.

Marietta is fluent in Czech, English, German and Italian.
