About Nerissa
Nerissa Mauricio offers a calm, non-judgemental presence for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief or questions about identity. She welcomes those coping with trauma, self-esteem struggles, addiction concerns, mood difficulties and life changes. Sessions are described as a shared journey where the person’s unique story is honoured and examined.
Nerissa identifies herself as a counsellor and notes registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, MBACP. Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred practice and emotionally-focused work to look at how relationships shape feelings today.
Background and approach
She also uses existential and Jungian perspectives to consider meaning, dreams and inner imagery. Nerissa trained at Re-Vision in North London and holds a Diploma in Integrative Transpersonal Counselling from that programme. In practice she pays attention to early family life and the patterns that may repeat in adult relationships.
She often works with images, metaphors, dreams and stories, and may include gentle movement or breath work to access what is held in the body. The focus is on noticing what is happening in the here and now and making sense of it together. People may come because they feel lost, stuck, isolated or in crisis.
Nerissa frames therapy as offering space and time to explore these feelings and to try different ways of understanding them. She currently works in independent practice and offers sessions online and in person in North and East London. Her style is warm and exploratory, aimed at helping people find clearer direction and a stronger sense of self.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional responses and patterns. Online sessions can use conversation to map these patterns and notice how they turn up in day-to-day life. Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the centre and uses empathic listening to help someone feel heard and understood; this direct, relational way of working adapts well to talking over video or phone. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people track and name core emotions and create new ways to respond; it is useful for resolving painful feelings and understanding relationship responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and together they will try ways of working that suit the person. That might mean emphasising feeling-focused work one week and exploring images, dreams or biography another week. The process is collaborative and reviewed as therapy progresses.
The biography indicates the counsellor offers online sessions, but it does not list specific formats in detail. Please confirm which session types are available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow sessions from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and let people choose whether to be on camera or use audio-only, depending on what helps them engage.
