Marieke Winkel, BACP, NCPS

Marieke Winkel is a psychotherapist with 11 years of clinical experience supporting people through trauma, loss, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. She works with a broad range of concerns including trauma and abuse recovery, grief, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, stress, and the challenges that come with major life changes. Her practice also addresses attachment and abandonment issues, relationship and family problems, codependency, dissociation, chronic illness and pain, first responder stress, and other complex presentations that often accompany trauma.

Marieke integrates several therapeutic approaches to tailor care to each client - drawing on attachment-based work, client-centered principles, EMDR for trauma-related processing, mindfulness practices, and psychodynamic ideas about patterns and past experiences. She is trained and practises in these methods to offer a flexible, person-focused way of working that adapts to individual needs and goals. Marieke holds professional credentials with BACP and NCPS - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society - which indicate membership of established UK professional bodies.

Working in English and Dutch, Marieke is based in the United Kingdom and is open to working with international clients. Her approach emphasizes collaboration, practical coping strategies, and attention to the relational and emotional patterns that influence daily life and recovery.
