Background and approach

From there she combines movement, breathing and mindful skills with cognitive tools to tackle unhelpful thoughts. This mix aims to give immediate ways to cope, and steps to change long-standing patterns over time. Marysa also draws on attachment-focused ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions.

She uses creative methods such as music and bookbinding to open new ways of expression when words alone feel limited. Practical exercises and short home tasks are commonly offered to build skills between sessions. Her life and work across several countries has shaped a culturally aware approach to counselling.

She speaks English, Dutch and French, and is comfortable working with international clients. Marysa is insured, attends regular supervision, and has training in suicide and self-harm support. People commonly come to her for stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, grief, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, addiction concerns and issues around identity and intimacy.

Sessions aim to help people feel more grounded, clearer about their choices, and better able to cope with life changes.

How somatic and talking therapies work online

Somatic work focuses on how the body holds stress and emotion. In sessions this can mean noticing breathing, posture and bodily sensations, then learning gentle techniques to reduce tension and increase regulation. These practices often help with anxiety, trauma responses and daily stress.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasises values-based action and simple mindfulness skills. It helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, make space for difficult feelings, and take steps that line up with what matters to them. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns formed early in life and how they affect current connections; it can be useful for relationship strain, intimacy issues and patterns of avoidance or insecurity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and adapt methods together. That collaborative process helps decide whether somatic practices, ACT, attachment-focused work or a mix will suit a person best.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, and allow people to use body-based and talking techniques from their own space. The variety of formats also makes it possible to continue work across countries for international clients.
