About Marieke

Marieke Winkel is an accredited psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience supporting people through trauma, abuse recovery, grief, depression, and relationship challenges. She draws on a range of therapeutic methods, including EMDR, attachment-focused work, client-centered approaches, mindfulness, and psychodynamic thinking, to tailor care to each person's history and current needs.

Her practice focuses on helping clients navigate complex emotional experiences such as low self-esteem, anxiety, stress, coping with life changes, and family or relationship difficulties. Marieke also works with issues that often accompany trauma and long-term strain - for example abandonment, dissociation, codependency, chronic illness and pain, and first responder concerns - taking a sensitive, trauma-informed stance that attends to both symptom relief and longer-term healing.

Marieke holds accreditation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) - professional bodies that represent standards and training in counselling and psychotherapy in the UK. She provides services in English and Dutch and works with clients internationally. Marieke is not currently accepting new clients.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and emotion. It helps when difficulties with trust, intimacy, or repeated relationship cycles are causing distress.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the client’s own goals. It creates a supportive space for people to explore feelings, build self-understanding, and strengthen self-esteem.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach used to reduce the emotional impact of traumatic memories by processing them in a paced and supported way; it is often used for trauma and abuse recovery.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marieke works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to identify which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as work progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and brief or ongoing contact can happen through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or travel commitments and to maintain continuity of care across locations.
