About Nerissa

Nerissa Mauricio offers a calm, non-judgemental place for people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to turn. She meets individuals who are stressed, anxious or grieving and helps them talk through what matters most. Nerissa invites people to slow down, reflect and make sense of their experiences in a warm, respectful way.

Her style is relational and exploratory. She works alongside clients to look at how childhood, family and past relationships shape present patterns.

Background and approach

Conversations may include images, metaphors, dreams and storytelling to reach the thoughts and feelings that are harder to name. Nerissa trained at Re-Vision in North London and holds a Diploma in Integrative Transpersonal Counselling. She practised for three years at Re-Vision's Low Cost Counselling service before moving into independent practice.

She is a BACP Therapist and a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP). In sessions she often brings together developmental, analytic and humanistic ideas with a soulful emphasis. Work can include exploring attachment patterns, looking at unconscious material and using gentle body-based techniques such as movement and breath.

The pace and focus adjust to each person’s needs. People come to Nerissa for a wide range of concerns, from relationship and intimacy issues to trauma, addictions, body image and identity questions. She also supports those coping with chronic health conditions, caregiver strain and major life changes.

The aim is to help people find more agency and clarity in everyday life.

How her approaches translate to online work

Nerissa combines attachment-based ideas with client-centred and emotionally-focused ways of working. Attachment-based work looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape current connections, which can help with anxiety, intimacy and relationship issues. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can find their own direction. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift core emotions that keep them stuck in painful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful in early sessions. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm the available online session options before booking. Online work can still offer practical benefits: it can make scheduling easier around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when needed. Some methods, like emotion-focused conversations or reflective listening, adapt well to remote sessions and can support progress between meetings.
