Marysa De Veer, NCPS

Marysa De Veer is a licensed therapist accredited by the National Counselling Society (NCPS) who brings seven years of professional practice together with more than three decades of personal growth experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy challenges, trauma and abuse, mood conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder, addictions, parenting and family concerns, as well as a broad range of life transitions. Her approach balances empathy with practical tools so clients can build resilience and make meaningful change.

She typically explores the underlying patterns and emotional triggers that feed current difficulties, tracing many of these back to early life and attachment experiences. Using a warm, client-centered stance, Marysa integrates inner child work, practical exercises, meditation and grounding techniques, and creative methods to support self-discovery and healing. Sessions aim to be both emotionally attuned and action-oriented so clients leave with skills they can use day to day.

Marysa’s multicultural life and professional background inform her practice. Having lived in Nigeria, Congo, Kenya, the Netherlands, France and the United Kingdom, and having run a social enterprise in The Gambia, she brings an awareness of how culture, spirituality and identity shape wellbeing. Her creative life as a kora musician and bookbinding teacher means music and art often find a place in therapy as complementary ways to express and process feelings.

She holds a Diploma in Emotional Therapeutic Counselling and has specialised training in suicide and self-harm support. Marysa is insured and engages in regular supervision to support the quality of her work. Prospective clients who want a therapy process that combines professional grounding with creative exploration are welcome to reach out.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support with Marysa De Veer

Marysa commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values, develop psychological flexibility, and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape emotional patterns and current connections, making it helpful for relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns, grief and attachment wounds. Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the process, using empathy and nonjudgmental listening to help clients explore their experience and find their own solutions, which supports self-esteem and emotional recovery.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Marysa works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. She adjusts methods over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy with Marysa is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy lives and for people in different locations. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access support during transitions, and blend synchronous and asynchronous contact so clients can integrate therapeutic work into their daily routines.
