About Marisa

Marisa Pieri is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

Marisa works from the assumption that people bring strengths and knowledge about their own lives. She helps people name problems, spot patterns, and try new ways of coping. Work often includes building motivation, improving confidence, and reducing harmful behaviour related to substance use.

In sessions she talks through relationship dynamics and communication difficulties. She supports people dealing with separation, blended family strain, abandonment and attachment concerns. She also addresses issues linked to autism spectrum presentations and personality-related difficulties where they affect daily life.

Marisa helps people process past hurt from trauma and abuse at a pace that suits them. She uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to reduce anxiety and manage stress. Clients can expect clear, goal-focused conversations and practical steps to try between meetings.

Her background includes focused work on codependency, control and dependent personality patterns, and the effects of divorce and domestic violence. She encourages straightforward problem-solving and building everyday skills. To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Marisa uses evidence-based approaches online

Marisa describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to reduce distress and build coping skills. One common approach she uses involves practical problem-solving and skills practice to tackle anxiety and stress. This helps people develop routines, breathing or grounding strategies, and step-by-step plans for difficult situations.

Another frequent focus is behaviour change work for addictions and motivation. This approach breaks larger goals into small, achievable steps and looks at how habits form and how they can be altered. It often includes setting short goals, tracking progress, and reviewing what helps or gets in the way.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marisa works collaboratively to identify which techniques fit each person's needs, goals and preferences. She will discuss options, try methods in session, and refine the plan based on what works for the client.

Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and reduce travel. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and sessions that focus on practical tasks between meetings.
