Online support
How Marieke’s approaches work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react a certain way and supports changing unhelpful patterns in relationships and emotion regulation.Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own priorities. Sessions follow the client’s pace, with the counsellor listening, reflecting and helping people find their own answers.
EMDR is offered as a way to reduce the distress linked to traumatic memories. It involves structured processing of specific memories and can be used when clients and therapist agree it suits their goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marieke works collaboratively to choose methods that match the client’s needs, goals and comfort. She reviews progress together and adapts the plan as work continues.
Online sessions via video, phone, live chat or text make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth, and chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options add flexibility while keeping the focus on steady therapeutic work.
