About Marysa
Marysa De Veer offers a warm, person-centred way of working that starts with the everyday things that feel hard. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and the impact of past trauma. Her sessions aim to help people feel steadier and more able to manage life changes.
Marysa has seven years of professional practice and holds NCPS, which is listed as her credential. She also has a Diploma in Emotional Therapeutic Counselling and has completed work focused on suicide and self-harm support.
Background and approach
Her background includes long periods living across Europe and Africa, which shapes how she understands culture and identity in therapy. In sessions she combines practical skills with creative approaches. People learn grounding and breathing exercises alongside reflective conversation.
Creative tools such as music and bookbinding are sometimes used to help access feelings when words are hard to find. Her work draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. The focus is on noticing patterns, understanding triggers, and building small, manageable changes that fit daily life.
Marysa describes therapy as a collaborative process. She aims to make time for the person behind the problem and to adapt techniques to each individual’s needs. For people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, loss or big life transitions, her style is patient, practical and grounded.
Background and approach: Marysa’s international life experience informs a culturally aware practice. She has led community projects and taught creative skills, which she sometimes brings into sessions to support expression and processing. Her clinical training and ongoing supervision guide the therapeutic choices she makes.
She uses inner child work, mindfulness-based breathing methods, and short practical exercises to help clients build resilience. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Sessions can include talking, skill practice and creative exercises, all chosen with the client’s comfort in mind.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Marysa uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them. ACT encourages values-based action so someone can make small changes even when anxiety or painful memories are present.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how earlier relationships shape current patterns. This can help people identify emotional triggers and rebuild more supported ways of relating to themselves and others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marysa will discuss different methods with each person and choose techniques together based on needs and goals. That collaboration helps tailor sessions to what the client actually wants to change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging suits short check-ins, written reflection or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, travel or family life.
