About Mariana
Counsellor and HCPC registrant with 12 years of experience, Mariana Psyrdellis works in the United Kingdom helping people with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, self esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
Mariana uses a mix of psychological methods in her work. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and an integrative stance to talk through current problems and develop practical steps. She also brings elements of neuropsychological understanding to consider how cognition and behaviour interact.
She has experience in research and higher education, having worked as a researcher and college professor. That background informs a structured, evidence-aware way of working and an interest in clear explanations about what is being tried in sessions.
Sessions focus on identifying patterns that keep problems going and on small changes that can reduce distress. This may include looking at thoughts, behaviours and everyday routines, and practising new ways of coping between sessions. Communication and relationship problems are approached through concrete skills and clearer boundaries.
Mariana says she adapts to each person’s life circumstances and preferences. She aims to be respectful and attentive when helping people who are dealing with loss, migration, caregiver strain, addiction concerns, or feelings of isolation and shame.
To begin people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Mariana draws on cognitive behavioural methods and an integrative perspective. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and use practical exercises to reduce anxiety and low mood. An integrative approach means she combines useful elements from different methods to suit the problem presented, such as communication skills for relationship strain or behavioural work for motivation problems.She also brings a neuropsychological outlook, which pays attention to thinking patterns and cognitive strengths or difficulties. This can help when work needs to consider concentration, memory or impulsivity alongside emotional symptoms. Together, these approaches offer a mix of talk, skill practice and small homework tasks.
Finding the right mix is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and agree with the client what to try first. That collaborative process may lead to more behavioural exercises, thought records, or communication practice depending on what helps most.
The original profile does not specify which remote formats are used. Please confirm the current session formats before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins on difficult days. Some people prefer audio-only contact when bandwidth is low or to avoid being on camera, while others choose video for a fuller conversational feel. Registered or accredited professionals can often adapt the approach to suit practical needs.
