Self-Esteem for Women Who Lose Themselves in Relationships
By Marina Lorenzato, BACP Accredited PsychotherapistSix modules of guided inner practices to help you stop losing yourself every time someone gets close.
"Working with Marina has completely changed my life. I wish more people could have the opportunity to experience that.”

Many women have done the work.
They're in therapy.
They've read the books.
They understand their patterns.
And still, when it comes to relationships, they disappear. Does this sound familiar?
- Do you lose yourself in romantic relationships?
- Do you overthink texts, dates, and small changes in tone?
- Are you drawn to emotionally unavailable partners?
- Do you tolerate behavior that doesn't feel good?
- Do you struggle to say no without guilt?
- Do you stay too long in situations that drain you?
- Have you done inner work but still struggle to feel enough?
Not because you are weak. But because no one ever taught you how to stay connected to yourself while staying connected to someone else.
Autêntica
is designed to change that.
A series of guided inner practices designed to change the relationship you have with yourself at the deepest level.
You will practice relating to yourself differently through guided meditations, somatic exercises, and reflective journaling until new neural pathways form and old patterns soften.
Real change happens through repeated, embodied practice that shifts you from your thinking mind into your felt experience.
Self-esteem changes through practice. Guided inner work that rewires how you see yourself, how your nervous system responds, and how you make choices.
By the end of this programme, you will:
- Recognize emotional unavailability earlier, in yourself and others
- Stop confusing chemistry with real compatibility
- Communicate your needs more clearly without over-explaining or apologizing
- Hold at least one real boundary in your life, and tolerate the discomfort that comes with it
- Reduce people-pleasing behaviors and the automatic urge to manage others' emotions
- Feel more stable inside yourself when someone pulls away or becomes inconsistent
- Access calm, compassion, and clarity through your own inner practices
Most importantly, you will start choosing differently. You will tolerate less. That is what real self-esteem looks like.

The Modules
Each module includes short teaching videos, guided inner practices (meditations), reflective journaling exercises, and embodied integration rituals to anchor the work into your daily life
Healing the Inner Child
Understand how your early experiences shaped your self-esteem and relational patterns, and learn how to care for the young part of you with compassion.
Boundaries & Self-Respect
Learn how to say no, express limits clearly, and stop overexplaining yourself. Boundaries are not walls, they are the invisible lines that tell you where you end and someone
else begins.
Quieting the Inner Critic
Reduce harsh self-judgment and soften the internal voice that tells you you are not enough. You'll learn to observe the critic with compassion, understand what it's protecting, and gently turn down its volume.
Self-Image & Body
Reconnect with your body as a place to inhabit, not a project to fix. Shift from seeing your body as an object to experiencing it as the instrument that allows you to feel, move, and live.
Caring for the Soul
Reconnect with your deeper values and internal guidance. Learn to rebalance validation: from only outside to inside and outside. Practice radical self-acceptance and the art of nourishing your essence.
The Autêntica Woman
Integrate everything into a more grounded, self-respecting identity. Reconnect with your life force and step into the woman who is alive, magnetic, and fully herself. Not performing, not shrinking,
just present.

Real Transformations
"A journey that changed my life from the inside out."
"I carry everything you taught me with me every single day. I remember your words and lessons every time I feel anxious or like I can't do something, or when I feel self-critical thoughts creeping up.
I am eternally grateful for the journey I was able to go on with your help. I feel so insanely lucky that you were my therapist.
You have completely changed my life Marina! It hasn't just helped me - I feel like it has also softened and deepened my understanding and compassion for people around me."

"Guidance that helped me become a stronger version of myself."
"I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you again for everything over the past year. Our sessions have been an incredible journey, and I genuinely appreciate the support, guidance, and understanding you've provided throughout this process.
I am leaving our sessions feeling lighter, with a greater sense of self and confidence, and feel very, very lucky to have had you as my therapist!"
R.M., 26, United Kingdom
"Learning to accept myself brought me real peace."
"I worked with Marina for close to 3 years, and therapy was crucial in me understanding myself better. One key part of that was by connecting to sides of myself that I had been embarrassed about or wasn't in touch with before therapy, like my teenage self.
Resolving myself to these sides, seeing them, and discovering that I felt love towards them meant that I was able to approach life from a place of centeredness, a place where I was more at peace with myself, and so, more at peace with others."

About Marina Lorenzato
I am a BACP accredited psychotherapist with over 6,000 clinical hours, trained in Psychosynthesis, a transpersonal, integrative approach to therapy that works with the whole person: mind, body, emotions, and deeper Self.
I work with women and couples, focusing on self-worth, attachment patterns, boundaries, and embodied psychological integration. I see clients in person at London Bridge and online, working bilingually in English and Brazilian Portuguese.
AUTÊNTICA brings together the core themes I work with in therapy: inner child healing, boundaries, self-compassion, somatic awareness, and reconnection with the Self, all into a structured, accessible programme. The guided practices are rooted in the same meditative and reflective work I use with my clients every week.
This work changed my life. And I am honoured to guide you through it.

Frequently Asked Questions
The programme includes 14 teaching videos (60-80 minutes total), plus 6 guided practices (meditations), journaling exercises, and embodied integration rituals. Most women complete it in 4-6 weeks, moving through one module per week. You have 6 months of access, so you can move at your own pace, slower or faster depending on what feels right.
No. This is a self-paced online program rooted in therapeutic principles and practices, but it’s not a substitute for individual therapy. If you’re in crisis or dealing with severe trauma, please seek professional support. This program works beautifully alongside therapy, or as a structured way to continue inner work if you’ve completed therapy.
The guided practices are accessible whether you’re new to meditation or have been practicing for years. You don’t need to identify as spiritual. The practices are grounded in psychology (Psychosynthesis and Internal Family Systems) and simply guide you to listen inward and practice relating to yourself differently. If you can close your eyes and take a breath, you can do these practices.
This program works whether you’re single, dating, or in a relationship. The focus is on rebuilding your internal foundation so you can show up differently in all connections. Many women do this work while in relationships and find it helps them communicate more clearly, hold boundaries, and stay connected to themselves even when close to someone else.
The course is hosted on Teachable. After enrollment, you’ll receive login details and can access all materials on any device: computer, tablet, or phone.
No. This program is accessible whether you’re new to inner work or have been on this path for years. The teaching is clear, grounded, and assumes no prior knowledge. That said, women who have done some inner work often find this program deepens and integrates what they already know. It gives structure and embodied practice to insights they’ve had intellectually but haven’t yet felt in their body.
I want you to feel confident in this decision. If you begin the programme and feel it isn’t right for you, contact me within 48 hours of purchase for a full refund, no questions asked.
