About Marieke Winkel

Marieke Winkel is a United Kingdom-based psychotherapist with 11 years of clinical experience supporting people through trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and relationship and life changes. She draws on a broad, trauma-informed skill set to help clients rebuild safety, strengthen self-esteem, and develop practical coping strategies for stress and ongoing challenges.

Her practice integrates a range of evidence-informed approaches, including attachment-based work, client-centered methods, psychodynamic perspectives, and solution-focused techniques. She also uses trauma-focused and somatic therapies and is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as part of her approach to processing traumatic memories and reducing distressing symptoms.

Marieke works with a wide spectrum of concerns, from abuse recovery and bereavement to chronic pain and communication difficulties, and she attends to related issues such as codependency, dissociation, and attachment or personality-related struggles. Her practice addresses both individual and relational patterns, aiming to support clearer boundaries, improved communication, and more resilient coping during life transitions.

She holds credentials with professional counselling bodies - BACP and NCPS - which reflect recognised membership in counselling organisations. Marieke offers therapy in English and Dutch and is experienced in working with international clients. She is not currently accepting new clients.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit?

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist remotely can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.

One of the main advantages of remote sessions is flexibility. Individuals can connect in the way that suits them best - via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to access support from a distance.

Therapists offering remote work are licensed professionals, and if the therapeutic match is not right it is possible to look for a different clinician. For many people, online therapy provides a practical, accessible route to working on emotional health, relationships, and coping skills with qualified practitioners.
