About Marieke

Marieke Winkel helps people manage anxiety, depression, grief, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She supports people facing major life changes, relationship and family difficulties, low self-esteem, and ongoing stress. Marieke offers practical tools and steady listening for those feeling overwhelmed or stuck.

She draws on a range of therapeutic approaches to suit different needs. Sessions focus on building safety and trust, working through distressing memories, and developing skills to cope day to day.

Background and approach

Marieke listens closely and adapts the pace to what each person can manage. Marieke has worked in the UK for 11 years across clinical, specialist and teaching roles. Her professional affiliations include the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).

She combines that background with direct experience supporting people after abuse and loss. Many sessions use eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing to address painful memories alongside talking therapies. Marieke also uses attachment-based and mindfulness-informed ways of working to strengthen self-awareness and resilience.

She explains each step and checks that it feels right for the person in front of her. Sessions are offered in English and Dutch and can take place online in several formats. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions to fit their schedule.

Marieke aims for clear, simple steps so someone in distress can get practical help quickly.

How Marieke’s approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react in certain ways and supports safer ways of relating to others.

Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) focuses on reducing the emotional strength of traumatic memories. In practice this can mean revisiting distressing memories with guided bilateral stimulation while also developing coping strategies to manage strong feelings.

Mindfulness-based ideas are used to bring attention to the present moment. Simple breathing and grounding exercises help reduce rumination and improve day-to-day focus.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Marieke discusses options and tailors methods to the person's goals, comfort and pace. The choice of approach is reviewed as progress is made, so plans can change if something is not helping.

Online therapy with Marieke is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions can fit a short break or use less bandwidth, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping continuity of care.
