About Marieke
Marieke Winkel is a counsellor with 11 years of experience who helps people facing depression, anxiety, trauma and relationship strain. She offers practical, steady support for grief, low self-esteem and major life changes. Marieke works in English and Dutch and is based in the United Kingdom.
She draws on a mix of approaches so sessions fit each person. Conversations are client-led and rooted in understanding attachment patterns and emotional experience.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas are used to notice unhelpful patterns and build new ways of coping. Marieke has recognised registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). Her background includes clinical roles in different services and work with people affected by abuse and domestic violence, which informs a trauma-aware way of working.
Sessions aim to be practical and paced to what the person needs. This can include short-term solution-focused work or longer reflection on past relationships and patterns. EMDR is included among the methods she offers for processing traumatic memories.
She describes therapy as a collaborative process. People are supported to set goals, try small changes between sessions and build tools for managing stress and low mood. The focus is on gradual progress and clearer understanding of what helps day to day.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marieke will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try. This keeps therapy collaborative and responsive as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different situations. Video suits deeper conversations and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth or movement is limited, and chat or messaging works well for brief check-ins or when written reflection helps. These options make it simpler to book around work, travel or day-to-day demands while keeping continuity of care with a registered therapist.
