Mariana Psyrdellis, HCPC

Mariana Psyrdellis is a psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). She has 12 years of professional experience and works in English and Spanish. She aims to offer calm, practical support for everyday problems.

Her main areas of focus include stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, depression and coping with life changes. She also helps with issues such as abandonment, attachment problems, body image, caregiver stress, communication difficulties and isolation. This range means she often sees people juggling emotional strain alongside practical life pressures.

Mariana uses a mix of approaches in her work, drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and neuropsychological perspectives to tailor conversations and plans. In sessions she pays attention to how family, social context, biology and personal history interact for each person. That helps shape simple, personalised steps rather than one-size-fits-all fixes.

Before moving into practice she worked as a researcher, college professor and scientist. That background informs a thoughtful, curious style and an interest in clear explanations about what might help. She aims to match methods to each person's needs and preferences.

Mariana describes her way of working as respectful, sensitive and compassionate. She invites people to take small, manageable steps towards change and offers support while they work through decisions and adjustments.

Blending proven techniques for online support

Mariana draws on evidence-based therapeutic approaches that focus on changing unhelpful thinking and understanding how the brain and behaviour interact. One commonly used method focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and building practical coping skills for anxiety and depression. Another approach looks at how neurological patterns and life experiences affect concentration, mood and behaviour, which can help when stress or motivation are affected.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mariana collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. She adjusts the plan as progress is made and aims to keep things practical and understandable.

Regarding online therapy logistics, the biography does not specify exact session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit around work, caregiving and travel, reduce time spent on commuting and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt sessions to suit quieter times, less screen time or paced visits to match a client's life commitments.
