Therapeutic approaches and online delivery

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce the emotional intensity attached to them - it is often used for survivors of abuse, accidents, or other traumatic events. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and aims to strengthen emotional bonds and improve relational safety, which can help with abandonment, attachment issues, and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasises a respectful, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship where the therapist follows the client’s pace, supporting self-exploration and personal growth in areas such as self-esteem, life transitions, and coping with stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Marieke works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress is made. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules, mobility needs, and comfort levels. These formats allow registered professionals to provide consistent care across distances, making it easier to maintain momentum in therapy while fitting work, family, and life commitments.
