Mari Syrad , BACP

Mari Syrad is a BACP-registered psychotherapeutic counsellor who brings a humanistic, integrative approach to therapy. Registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she places the individual at the centre of clinical work and draws on a range of theories to suit each person’s needs and pace.

Mari offers a calm, supportive space in which people can explore difficult feelings, make sense of challenging events, and build coping resources for times when life feels overwhelming. She works with issues such as bereavement and trauma, major life changes like pregnancy or divorce, and the quieter sense that something is not quite right. Her practice also addresses stress, anxiety, grief, parenting, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, body image and self-esteem, career and coaching needs, and compassion fatigue.

Trained as an Integrative Humanistic Counsellor, Mari believes people are the experts on their own lives and that therapeutic growth is possible when a person feels heard, supported, and gently encouraged to reflect. Sessions are conducted in English from the United Kingdom.

Client-Centered and Existential Support Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, non-judgmental environment in which the person is supported to explore thoughts and feelings. It emphasizes the client’s own resources and capacity for self-understanding, helping with issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions.

Existential Therapy explores meaning, choice, and personal responsibility in the face of life’s challenges. It can help people facing grief, major life changes, questions about identity, or a sense of disconnection by encouraging reflection on values and the possibilities for change.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Mari will work with each person to identify which methods feel most helpful based on their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the approach as the work unfolds.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care when attending in person is difficult.
