About Marieke
Marieke Winkel helps people facing trauma, grief, anxiety and low self-esteem. She offers steady support for those coping with life changes, stress, relationship difficulties and family-related concerns. She is named Marieke Winkel and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She has around 11 years of experience working in mental health settings in the United Kingdom.
Her background includes work across clinical services and specialist provision for survivors of abuse. She draws on a mix of approaches to meet practical needs and personal goals. In sessions she focuses on building trust, understanding patterns that cause pain, and finding small, manageable steps forward.
Marieke commonly uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current reactions. She also uses client-centred methods to keep conversations grounded in what each person wants to explore. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, appears in her practice for people who are processing traumatic memories.
She blends mindfulness and psychodynamic thinking to help people notice their patterns and practise different responses. Sessions aim to be calm and straightforward, with space for emotion and practical problem solving. Her approach emphasises listening first and adapting to each person's pace.
Marieke speaks English and Dutch. She works with adults on a range of issues including codependency, attachment concerns, chronic health challenges and first responder stress. The practice is based in the United Kingdom and she is available for international clients.
Approaches you can try online and what they do
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people relate now. It helps with trust issues, attachment concerns and patterns that affect current relationships. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience in the room. The therapist follows the client's lead, offering empathy and reflection to help people find their own solutions. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a method used to process troubling memories so they feel less overwhelming; it is often used for trauma and abuse recovery.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Marieke will discuss different methods and help figure out what fits each person's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as progress is made.
The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins between appointments. It can also let people attend from another location or schedule sessions around work or caregiving responsibilities. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often adapt exercises, mindfulness practices and EMDR protocols for remote delivery when appropriate.
