About Marisa
Marisa Pieri is an NCPS credentialed counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. She also supports people struggling with confidence and motivation.
Marisa approaches sessions by treating each person as the expert on their own life. She listens for strengths clients already have and helps them use those strengths to cope with difficulties. Conversations focus on practical steps and clearer ways to respond when stress, cravings, or old patterns show up.
She commonly helps people who find themselves putting others first, losing boundaries, or getting stuck around another person's drinking or moods. In sessions she will talk through how patterns like codependency show up day to day and work on small, achievable changes that make a difference at home and at work.
Her style is direct and down-to-earth. Sessions look at what is happening now and what can be changed next. That can include setting boundaries, improving communication, and managing urges connected with substance use.
Marisa offers a practical focus and supports people who want clearer choices. To begin she asks clients to describe what feels hardest and what they hope to change. From there she helps plan the next steps and ongoing sessions.
How sessions work
Evidence-based approaches and remote working
Marisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and change unhelpful patterns. One approach focuses on identifying current thoughts and behaviours that keep anxiety and stress active, then testing small changes to see what helps. This work is useful for worry, panic and everyday stressors.A second approach addresses patterns around relationships and dependency. It looks at how people respond to another person's moods or substance use and encourages practical steps such as clearer boundaries and improved communication. This can help when someone repeatedly puts others first at their own expense.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Marisa will discuss options and explore what fits the client’s goals, needs and preferences. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them as progress is made.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Remote sessions can also let people choose whether to be on camera or not, depending on what feels most manageable for them.
