Marysa De Veer, NCPS

Marysa De Veer uses a person-centred approach to help people make sense of painful feelings and life changes. She combines warm listening with practical tools so conversations stay grounded and useful. Marysa draws on creative ways to help people express what is hard to say.

She has seven years of professional practice and holds NCPS, which stands for National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society accreditation. Marysa also has a Diploma in Emotional Therapeutic Counselling and additional training in suicide and self-harm support. She takes regular supervision and maintains professional insurance.

Sessions mix talking with practical exercises. Clients may learn grounding and breathing techniques to use in stressful moments. Creative methods such as music or simple bookbinding exercises can be brought into sessions when helpful.

Marysa's life experience includes living in several countries, which she says informs her awareness of culture, spirituality and identity in people’s lives. She has also run a social enterprise in The Gambia and uses that background to offer a broad perspective on healing.

Her focus areas include anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, grief, addiction and ADHD among others. She also works with issues around parenting, intimacy, body image and work stress. Conversations aim to identify patterns and build small, workable changes so daily life feels more manageable.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that fit their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with depression, anxiety and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand emotional triggers and connection issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and needs and together you will choose ways of working that feel most helpful. That conversation is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or offering sessions that suit a work break. It also means creative elements such as guided breathing or using music and simple art-based techniques can be used alongside talking, so therapeutic work remains practical and connected to everyday life.
