Hello, I am Marijke. I have many years of experience in working with different people from all walks of life. First as a social worker, and in the past few years as a psychotherapeutic counsellor. I work with adults, young people and couples. I can help you work through areas in your life where you feel “stuck” and where you experience problems, like anxiety and depression, addiction, phobias, Post Traumatic Stress, feelings of low self-worth and low self-esteem, or problems in your relationship.

Face to face and online, I have helped many clients recover from anxiety disorders, depression and self-esteem issues. I have helped clients with abandonment and rejection fears work on relationship issues so that they are able to live in harmony with others. We will work together with your presenting issues and we will also journey into your past to see if we can get to the root of why you feel the way you do and together we will work through any triggers so that your life becomes more manageable. There is nothing more enlightening than self discovery and becoming a more confident version of yourself is extremely empowering.

You may be feeling stuck - perhaps you're battling addiction, past traumas, struggling with identity, low esteem, relationships, or simply sensing that something in life isn’t working or is missing. You may appear to have it all together, yet carry an inner burden you can no longer ignore. You might be seeking to understand yourself, get clarity, build connection, and make lasting change. If that resonates with you then get in touch, I have supported many clients in breaking free from old patterns, and begin living a life that feels meaningful, authentic, and whole.

I bring experience from my earlier work with gambling addictions and general counselling, which deepened my understanding of how our behaviours, bodies, and emotions are often closely linked.
Many people struggle in silence with sexual concerns - whether it's loss of desire, difficulties with arousal or orgasm, painful sex, sexual compulsivity, or shame around sexuality. These challenges can feel isolating, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. I work collaboratively and sensitively to help you understand what's going on beneath the surface and to move towards greater connection, confidence, and pleasure in your intimate life.

Since obtaining my degree in Psychology in 2016, I have worked with families and people across the life span, with different levels of privilege and discrimination and with a range of mental health difficulties, spanning from anxiety and depression to more enduring presentations (e.g., psychosis) and addiction (e.g., substance use, gambling).
I now work as a Clinical Psychologist in two specialist services: an NHS service for expectant and new parents and children’s social services, where I support young people (16-25) leaving the care system. In my different professional roles, I appreciate how our early history and circumstances shape our relational patterns and how we see the world.

How do gambling rehabilitation programs work?
There are both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation programs. However, for some individuals, an outpatient facility may not offer enough hands-on care, and for other individuals, an inpatient facility may be too much. Both types of care have knowledgeable health professionals including physicians (in the case of residential programs), psychologists, counselors, psychotherapists, and recovered mentors.

How do gambling 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?
Abstinence and maintenance are key for 12-step gambling disorder programs. Individuals in a 12-step group rely on each other for support and accountability. In addition, there is often a spiritual element to these programs, whereby belief in a higher power can help the individual overcome their tendencies. If an individual genuinely wants to cease gambling, attending a 12-step program along with regular psychotherapy can be highly effective.

How long does therapy take for gambling disorder?
Recovering from gambling disorder takes time and effort. There’s no precise timeline for treatment, but a person can see change if they stick with therapy and if they have the will and desire to stop. Treatment for gambling disorder requires honesty in therapy, a commitment to understanding triggers, as well as the development of coping skills. Making lifestyle changes is also important, such as staying away from lotteries, online gambling, and casinos.

Is relapse a problem for those with a gambling disorder?
Gambling disorder is often chronic and can be life-long; therefore relapse may present a problem for some individuals. But effective treatment can bring a person’s life under control. To remain healthy and on track, the individual may need to regularly check in with their support group or psychotherapist. Frequently refreshing their tools of recovery can be helpful.
