Marysa De Veer , NCPS

Marysa De Veer is a licensed therapist with seven years of professional practice and more than 30 years of personal development experience. She holds NCPS accreditation, accredited by the National Counselling Society, and brings a belief in each person’s capacity to heal and grow to every session. Her training includes a Diploma in Emotional Therapeutic Counselling and specialized instruction in supporting suicidal ideation and self-harm, and she maintains insurance and regular professional supervision to support good practice.

Marysa’s work is warm and person-centered, focusing on what lies beneath presenting difficulties. She helps clients explore emotional triggers and life patterns, often tracing origins to earlier experiences, and uses gentle inner-child work alongside practical exercises. Sessions combine empathy with clear, usable tools - meditation and grounding techniques, creative interventions such as music and art, and hands-on strategies that can be applied in daily life to build resilience and self-understanding.

Having lived in Nigeria, Congo, Kenya, the Netherlands, France, and the United Kingdom, Marysa brings a broad cultural perspective to her practice. She has run a social enterprise in The Gambia and integrates creative skills as a Kora musician and bookbinding teacher into therapeutic work when helpful. Marysa works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, ADHD, bipolar and depression, parenting and family issues, and LGBT and intimacy-related matters, and she offers therapy in English, Dutch, and French while accepting international clients.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them, and then take committed action toward what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and navigating life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on early relationship patterns and how they influence current connections - it is often helpful for relationship issues, abandonment concerns, and intimacy-related difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and a collaborative, non-directive stance that helps people explore their own insights and strengths; it supports self-esteem, grief work, and personal growth.

Marysa approaches the choice of method as a collaborative process. She will work with clients to identify needs, goals, and preferences and then adapt techniques from these approaches so the therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with Marysa is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different lifestyles and time zones. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes, reduce travel time, and allow work with licensed professionals and therapists from locations that suit the client’s schedule and circumstances.
