Marina Catovsky PgDL, MA Hons, BVC, 24th August 1963 – 2nd June 2011 Marina died suddenly and tragically on 2nd of June 2011. She was killed by a motorcyclist while crossing the road. She was only 47. Marina was born in Argentina and came to England at the age of four. She went to Notting Hill and Ealing High School until 1981 and then went to Oxford. She read PPE at Hertford College and her tutor was Baroness Warnock whom she admired and respected greatly. After graduating from Oxford she worked as a psychotherapist, both with adults and adolescents, in a variety of different settings, including the NHS, the voluntary sector and private practice. She undertook work with individuals and groups and was accredited with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy. In 2001 she decided to become a lawyer and was a Middle Temple Benefactors’ Scholar in 2002 and was called to the Bar in 2003. In the last year of her life she lectured in advocacy at Kaplan College of Law in London, where she was extremely popular with the students. Kaplan College has now established a scholarship on her name for underprivileged law students. Marina was gregarious and generous; the latter was reflected by the fact that she saved four lives through organ donation. She had many interests in life in addition to her successful career, including dancing, music and travelling. She was also fluent in Spanish. Marina had many friends from all walks of life, many of which attended the funeral at Putney Vale. A number of her friends sent us cards and letters and posted tributes in The Times obituary page.
