About Mari
Mari Syrad is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress and grief. She offers a calm space to talk about hard things. Mari listens and helps people make sense of what they are feeling and find ways to cope.
She works with a wide range of concerns including relationship and family difficulties, parenting strain, addiction and intimacy-related issues. Mari also supports people dealing with chronic illness, cancer, body image and eating concerns.
Background and approach
She is experienced in working through life changes such as divorce, bereavement and adjustment to new roles. Mari uses client-centred ways of working that keep the person at the heart of the sessions. She puts emphasis on understanding each person’s experience and follows the pace they set.
Existential ideas inform her work too, helping people look at meaning, choice and the values that matter to them. Sessions are conversational and plain in language. Mari aims to hold a non-judgemental space while gently challenging unhelpful patterns.
Her approach is practical as well as reflective, so clients can try new ways of coping between sessions. Mari trained in integrative humanistic counselling and has been practising for three years. She works from the United Kingdom and carries the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy accreditation BACP.
To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and then arrange sessions that suit their timetable.

Approaches Mari lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Mari will talk with each person about their goals, needs and preferences and together they will decide what feels most useful. That collaborative process can shift over time as things change or new issues emerge.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which give practical flexibility. Video calls suit deeper conversations and visual connection, phone sessions need less bandwidth and work well as a shorter check-in, while chat and messaging can fit around busy days and let people reflect and reply when convenient. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving or mobility needs while keeping the therapeutic focus consistent.
