Nerissa Mauricio welcomes people who feel stuck, lost, or overwhelmed and want to understand what is behind those feelings. She aims to provide a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can look at what is troubling them and consider what might need to change. Nerissa uses an exploratory style and stays alongside each person as they make sense of their experiences.
Her background includes a Diploma in Integrative Transpersonal Counselling from Re-Vision in North London.
Background and approach
She practised at Re-Vision's Low Cost Counselling service for three years before moving into independent practice. Nerissa has seven years of overall counselling experience and is a member of the BACP, listed as a BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP. Nerissa draws on developmental, analytic and humanistic viewpoints with a soulful focus to understand what is happening in the present.
She often looks at family history, childhood environment and past relationships to see how they shape current patterns. She also uses images, metaphors, dreams and storytelling to access material that may feel hidden. Work in sessions may include paying attention to body-held experience through movement and breath work, and exploring symbols or drawings that surface in conversation.
Sessions are aimed at helping people notice repeating patterns, manage crises, or reconnect with a clearer sense of who they are. Nerissa practises in the United Kingdom and works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions and issues around identity and intimacy. She welcomes clients who want a reflective, exploratory approach to change.
Therapeutic approaches for online work
Nerissa often draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape present feelings and reactions. This approach helps when people notice repeating patterns in close relationships or feel unsettled by separation and loss. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which concentrates on listening closely and following the client’s own pace and priorities to build understanding and self-direction.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nerissa will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide what feels most helpful. That collaborative fit can be reviewed as therapy progresses so the approach stays relevant to the client’s situation.
If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking so you know how she is offering therapy. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people continue therapy while living abroad, since she accepts international clients. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find that online sessions support steady progress when scheduling and practical access matter.
