About Marieke
Marieke Winkel helps people struggling with trauma, grief, anxiety and major life changes. She supports those facing depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and stress. Marieke also works with people dealing with chronic illness, abandonment issues and the emotional impact of disasters.
Marieke uses a blend of approaches in sessions. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She uses client-centred methods to keep sessions grounded in the person’s own pace and priorities. EMDR is part of her toolkit for addressing traumatic memories when it feels suitable.
Her background includes over eleven years in counselling and psychotherapy roles across health services and specialist organisations. She has worked with survivors of domestic violence and with services that support trauma recovery. This range of settings has shaped a practical, trauma-aware way of working.
Marieke holds BACP and NCPS credentials and a BSc in Humanistic Integrative Counselling. She has experience teaching aspiring counsellors and has carried out social work and research work in the Netherlands. Her international experience informs how she tailors support for different cultural backgrounds.
In sessions she aims to keep things straightforward. People can expect clear discussion of goals, gentle pacing, and techniques such as mindfulness and psychodynamic reflection when relevant. Anyone thinking about therapy is encouraged to check session options and scheduling before booking.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can use conversation and reflective exercises to spot those patterns and try new ways of relating. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person's own goals, using the session time to follow what feels most important. EMDR involves structured processing of traumatic memories and can be adapted for remote delivery when appropriate.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marieke will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and comfort level. She aims to try things step by step and adjust based on what helps most.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy easier to fit into daily life because it removes travel and lets them schedule shorter check-ins around work or caregiving. Others appreciate that certain techniques, such as mindfulness practice or EMDR processing, can be done via remote sessions with planning. Ask about practical details and session length when you arrange a first appointment.
