Marieke Winkel, BACP, NCPS

Marieke Winkel helps people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety and stress. She also supports those facing relationship and family concerns and people coping with big life changes. Marieke offers calm, practical support and aims to make sessions feel manageable and focused.

Marieke brings eleven years of clinical experience in different settings across the United Kingdom. She combines approaches that focus on attachment, mindfulness, psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused steps. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, often known as EMDR, when trauma work is needed.

In sessions she tends to work in a person-centred way, listening closely and shaping work around what each person needs. She uses mindfulness practices to help with grounding and noticing difficult feelings. With psychodynamic ideas she looks at patterns from the past that keep repeating now.

People who have faced domestic violence, neglect, abandonment or long-term illness will find these issues reflected in her experience. She has also worked with first responder concerns, dissociation and problems with boundaries or codependency. Marieke pays attention to safety and pacing when working with painful or traumatic memories.

Marieke is registered with BACP and NCPS, which are listed credentials she holds. She works in English and Dutch and accepts clients internationally. To start, clients use the site's matching process to find a suitable time and place to begin sessions.

How Marieke's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways early relationships shape how people connect and feel safe now. It helps when someone notices repeating patterns in close relationships and wants to build steadier connections.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the centre of the work. The therapist listens without judgement and helps people find their own answers, which suits worries like low self-esteem or life changes.

EMDR is a structured method used with traumatic memories to reduce their intensity and distress. It is often chosen when past events keep causing strong reactions in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marieke will work collaboratively to choose or blend methods based on each person's needs, goals and preferences. This might mean starting with listening and grounding, then adding EMDR when someone feels ready.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It may reduce travel time, allow quieter or shorter check-ins during a work break, or let someone join from a location that suits them. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking so arrangements meet your needs and schedule.
