About Marisa
Marisa Pieri is a NCPS-credentialed counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. Marisa also supports clients who want to build confidence and motivation after life changes.
Her approach treats the client as the expert on their own story. She listens for strengths and practical steps that can be taken in day-to-day life. Sessions focus on small, manageable changes rather than sweeping promises. The tone is direct and pragmatic, aimed at helping people move forward when they feel stuck.
Marisa has worked with a range of related concerns, including abandonment issues, adoption and foster care histories, attachment difficulties, and communication problems. She also has experience with substance use and domestic violence related issues, and with personality and co-morbidity concerns that complicate recovery.
In sessions she encourages clear goals and practical coping strategies. Conversations often look at patterns that keep problems repeating and at ways to shift those patterns. She helps people weigh options and try new behaviours, then reviews what works and what needs adjusting.
To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
Approaches and how they work online
Marisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach she commonly draws on helps people identify unhelpful patterns in thoughts and behaviours and teaches concrete strategies to shift them; this is useful for anxiety, low mood and many stress-related problems. Another commonly used way of working looks at relational patterns and attachment - it helps people understand how past relationships influence current communication and trust issues, which can be useful for relationship difficulties and some trauma-related concerns.Choosing the right approach is usually collaborative. Marisa will discuss options with each client, consider their goals and preferences, and adjust the methods used as work progresses. The aim is to find techniques that feel workable in everyday life rather than a fixed programme imposed from the start.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when days are tight, and reduce travel time. It also lets people continue therapy if they are living abroad, since international clients are accepted. Practical considerations such as whether to use video or audio often come down to personal comfort, bandwidth and how the client wants to use the time.
