About Marysa
Marysa De Veer combines compassionate, person-centred work with practical therapies to help people facing anxiety, stress, grief and relationship difficulties. She uses straightforward techniques alongside creative approaches to make progress feel achievable. Marysa holds NCPS, which is the National Counselling Society accreditation, and has seven years of professional practice.
She works in English, Dutch and French and accepts international clients. Marysa draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding.
Background and approach
She often uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. Sessions mix conversation with small exercises to practise between meetings. Her background living in multiple countries informs a culturally aware way of talking about identity, spirituality and values.
She also brings creative methods such as music and bookbinding when these feel useful. These are offered as options rather than requirements and are adapted to each person's comfort level. Practical tools appear regularly in sessions.
Clients learn grounding, breathing and simple meditation techniques to manage panic, sleeplessness and intense emotions. Marysa balances empathy with step-by-step work so people can try changes in everyday life. She has experience supporting people dealing with trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting strain, workplace stress, ADHD, mood difficulties and intimacy concerns.
If someone wants a blended approach that includes talking, skills practice and creative work, Marysa offers that in her practice.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Marysa commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small, values-led steps even when feelings are difficult, which can help with anxiety and life changes. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches straightforward skills to reduce panic, sleep problems and low mood.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Marysa will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that feel comfortable, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients are invited to feed back so the work stays relevant to their everyday life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer discussion is needed. Phone sessions can be useful for quieter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter exchanges, brief check-ins or people who prefer non-verbal communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on useful skills and steady progress.
