Marysa De Veer , NCPS

Marysa De Veer is a counsellor who blends person-centred care with practical techniques. She draws on seven years of professional practice alongside many more years of personal growth. Marysa works with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, grief and issues around identity and sexuality.

Sessions focus on what is happening now and on the life experiences that shape emotional patterns. She uses gentle inner child work, grounding exercises and creative methods such as music or bookbinding to help people express difficult feelings. Meditation and simple coping skills are taught so new strategies can be used day to day.

Her practice is informed by living and working across several countries, which gives her an awareness of how culture and spirituality affect healing. That background also shapes a flexible approach to different life stories and identities. People who find meaning in creative activities may find these routes helpful in therapy.

Marysa holds a Diploma in Emotional Therapeutic Counselling and is registered with the NCPS, the National Counselling Society. She has completed additional training in suicide and self-harm support and takes regular supervision as part of her work.

Sessions can include practical exercises, reflective conversation and creative tasks tailored to each person's needs. Marysa aims to make the work collaborative and paced to the individual's comfort and goals. Her style mixes empathy with clear, usable tools for coping and recovery.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or ACT focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasises identifying personal values and taking small steps that align with those values, which can be useful for issues like anxiety, depression and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to change unhelpful patterns and improve mood and day-to-day functioning.

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape emotional responses. It helps people understand their attachment patterns and build new ways of relating that feel safer and more stable.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marysa will discuss these options with clients and help choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and can change over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for a full face-to-face style session, phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or better when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suit brief reflections or ongoing support between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
