Marysa De Veer, NCPS

Marysa De Veer brings a blend of professional training, creative practice, and international experience to her therapeutic work. Accredited by the National Counselling Society (NCPS), she has seven years of professional practice and more than 30 years of personal growth experience that inform a compassionate, practical approach to change.

She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, career transitions, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, mood conditions, and a wide range of intimacy and identity concerns. Marysa emphasizes a warm, person-centered relationship that explores emotional triggers and patterns that often have roots in earlier life experiences. Her method combines gentle inner child work with practical exercises, meditation and grounding techniques that can be applied in everyday life to increase resilience and emotional balance.

Marysa's background spans Nigeria, Congo, Kenya, the Netherlands, France, and the United Kingdom, and she has run a social enterprise in The Gambia. Those cross-cultural experiences shape her sensitivity to how culture, spirituality, and identity influence wellbeing. As a kora musician and a bookbinding teacher, she often integrates creative expression into therapy when it suits the client's goals. She holds a Diploma in Emotional Therapeutic Counselling, has specialized training in suicide and self-harm support, carries professional insurance, and participates in regular clinical supervision. Marysa accepts international clients and offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging for flexible access to support.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Marysa integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches into her work. ACT focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters most to them, and take committed action toward valued goals - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people develop more secure ways of relating and regulating emotions, which is helpful for relationship, intimacy, and abandonment issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, nonjudgmental listening, and the client's own capacity for growth, supporting self-exploration and personal insight.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Marysa collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as the work unfolds so therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone allow real-time conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging provide accessible options for those with busy schedules or fluctuating energy. These formats make it easier to sustain continuity of care across time zones and life changes, and to access registered professionals from wherever the client is based.
