About Mari

Mari Syrad is a BACP-registered psychotherapeutic counsellor who brings an integrative humanistic approach to her work. She offers a calm, supportive space where people can explore the difficulties they are facing and begin to make sense of painful or confusing experiences. Mari believes each person is the expert on themselves and works at a pace that feels manageable while gently encouraging deeper reflection and personal growth.

Her practice supports people coping with specific events such as bereavement or trauma, as well as those navigating significant life changes like pregnancy or divorce. She also works with a broader sense of unease when life simply does not feel right, helping individuals to find meaning and resources for coping when life feels overwhelming.

Trained as an integrative humanistic counsellor, Mari draws on a range of ideas that centre the individual in therapeutic work. She aims to hold and support people through their sessions, offering empathy, curiosity, and practical collaboration to identify steps forward. Prospective clients are invited to make contact to arrange an initial session; Mari looks forward to hearing from anyone ready to begin exploring their experience.

Client-Centered and Existential Support Delivered Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing a warm, empathetic environment where the therapist follows the client’s lead, listens deeply, and reflects back what is happening. This approach helps when someone needs support with self-esteem, relationship difficulties, or navigating life transitions by prioritising the client’s perspective and pace.

Existential Therapy invites exploration of meaning, choice, and responsibility in the face of life’s uncertainties. It can be useful for people wrestling with grief, identity, major life changes, or questions about purpose, encouraging honest reflection and clearer personal values.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mari will work collaboratively with each person to identify which style or combination of approaches fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the work as understanding deepens.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and integrate therapy into busy lives while working with registered professionals and therapists who can tailor the process to each individual.
