Marisa Pieri , NCPS

Marisa Pieri works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. She frames therapy around clients' strengths and practical steps. Marisa holds an NCPS credential and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

She uses straightforward conversations to help people clarify what matters to them and set small, achievable goals. Sessions focus on coping skills, building confidence, and finding ways to reduce daily stress. Practical tools and gentle challenge are combined so people can practise new ways of coping between meetings.

Marisa has experience helping with addiction and substance use concerns as well as the emotional effects of domestic violence and trauma. She also supports people dealing with relationship breakdown, abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, and blended family pressures. Communication problems and codependency are common topics she talks through with clients.

Her approach treats the person not the problem. Marisa encourages people to recognise their own expertise about their lives while she offers structure and feedback. The aim is clearer thinking, steadier moods, and more confident decision making.

Sessions are offered in English and she works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally. Marisa welcomes people who want a practical, respectful style of counselling and who are ready to take one step at a time toward feeling better.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Marisa draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and rebuilding confidence. One common approach teaches coping skills for anxiety and stress through simple exercises and breathing or grounding techniques that can be practised between sessions to reduce daily distress. Another approach emphasises working through trauma and abuse by pacing the conversation, naming reactions, and developing safety and self-soothing strategies to help reclaim a sense of calm and control.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. Marisa listens to what the person wants to change, discusses options, and adjusts methods to fit the client’s goals and preferences. Together they agree on short-term aims and practical steps to measure progress over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family, or travel while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
