Marisa Pieri, NCPS

Marisa Pieri is a counsellor with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She supports people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, struggling with addictions, or having difficulties in relationships. She also helps people dealing with trauma, abuse, motivation problems and low self-esteem.

Marisa keeps therapy straightforward and practical. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on clear steps clients can try between meetings as well as time to talk things through during appointments.

Her background includes hands-on work with people facing issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment difficulties, and communication or control problems. Marisa has also worked with matters linked to separation, domestic violence and substance use.

She aims to make the first step less daunting by offering steady support and simple tools. Marisa encourages people to set goals they feel are realistic and to test changes at a pace that suits them. She works with people who want practical help to feel more confident and more in control.

Sessions are provided in English and Marisa is open to working with international clients. Before booking, clients should confirm the current session options available.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Many of the approaches Marisa uses are grounded in evidence-based techniques that focus on skills and behavioural practice. One common method she uses involves practical skill-building to manage anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding and problem-solving steps that can be practised between sessions. Another strand focuses on motivation and habit change, breaking big goals into small, achievable tasks and tracking progress week by week.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Marisa will collaborate with each person to find which techniques fit their needs and preferences, adjusting methods as goals change. The therapist and client decide together which steps to try and how quickly to progress.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, letting people check in without travel and save time around work or family routines. If you need a shorter check-in, want to avoid being on camera sometimes, or prefer sessions that let you focus on written tools and exercises, confirm which formats Marisa currently offers before booking. This helps ensure the practical setup suits your day-to-day life.
