Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative - she listens, reflects, and helps people sort through next steps. She encourages creativity in therapy and often brings practical, everyday techniques into conversations. Her experience includes work in education, care settings and creative industries, which shaped a flexible, down-to-earth style.
Marianne has five years of professional practice supporting people through burnout, compassion fatigue and caregiving stress. She also helps with depression, sleep problems, anger and addictions. She supports people with relationship and communication problems, codependency, abandonment and divorce or separation concerns.
Marianne also works with issues such as low self-esteem, body image, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness. ADHD and career-related stress are among other areas she addresses. Therapy sessions can take different forms to suit each person.
Marianne uses client-centred conversations, motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas to help uncover patterns and find practical ways forward. She aims to help people build on their strengths and make manageable changes. To begin, clients follow the platform steps to match and schedule a session.
Marianne treats therapy as a partnership where the client’s goals lead the way.
How Marianne’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experiences. The therapist listens closely, reflects back what she hears, and helps people find their own solutions; this approach suits concerns like low self-esteem, relationship issues and general anxiety.Motivational Interviewing is a conversational way to help people find motivation for change. It uses open questions and gentle reflection to reduce resistance and strengthen commitment, which can help with addictions, career moves or making lifestyle changes.
Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns from past experience that affect present feelings and choices. This can help when people notice recurring problems, such as repeated relationship difficulties or persistent feelings of emptiness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marianne collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. She revisits the plan as progress is made and adapts the focus when needed.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions suit those with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, timely support between sessions or when writing feels more comfortable. Registered and accredited professionals can offer these formats to make therapy more accessible and flexible for different needs.
