Marisa PieriNCPS

Marisa Pieri is a counsellor who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people handle stress, anxiety, addictions and relationship difficulties. She works with people experiencing trauma, abuse and low self-esteem. Marisa speaks plainly and aims to make the first contact feel manageable for someone who is already worried or overwhelmed.

She has three years of professional experience and holds the NCPS credential. Marisa emphasises that clients know their own lives best and brings that view into every conversation. Sessions focus on practical steps, clear goals and small changes that add up over time.

Marisa draws on approaches that have research backing and adapts them to each person's situation. In sessions she pays attention to patterns that keep problems going and helps people try different ways of responding. She uses straightforward tools to build confidence and cope with cravings or strong emotions.

When relationship issues come up, Marisa helps people sort communication problems and set boundaries. With trauma or abuse she offers a steady, patient pace and supports clients in finding what feels manageable. She also helps those dealing with adoption, abandonment or changes linked to separation and divorce.

People who choose to work with Marisa can expect respectful listening, clear practical suggestions and a focus on the next small step. She encourages people to draw on their strengths while testing new skills between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online work

Marisa draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on building skills and changing unhelpful patterns. One common approach she uses involves skill-building and practical strategies to manage anxiety and stress, helping people learn breathing, grounding and thinking tools they can use day to day. Another approach focuses on managing addictive behaviours and cravings by breaking problems into smaller steps and developing coping plans to reduce urges and relapse triggers.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marisa works with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She treats therapy as a collaboration and will adjust techniques if something is not helping.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time and keep work or childcare interruptions to a minimum. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed or the use of audio-only conversations if that better suits someone's routine.
