I also offer individual counselling, as well as counselling for parents of teenagers.
My name is Mariska van der Meulen and we offer quality counselling at affordable rates. I chose the name Meraki as it really speaks to me about the supportive, non judgmental environment in which healing takes place. It is a Greek word meaning "to do something with soul, creativity or love; to put something of yourself in your work". We are 7 therapists at Meraki and our aim is to create a safe, compassionate and understanding space where we can explore solutions and find new empowering ways of dealing with challenges.

Life can feel heavy. Sometimes the weight of anxiety, grief, change, or just the relentless pace of everyday demands makes it hard to breathe, let alone move forward. If you've reached the point where carrying it all alone no longer feels sustainable, that's not weakness. That's wisdom. I work with teenagers, young adults, and adults who are ready to explore healthier ways of coping, growing, and finding balance. Whether you're adjusting to high school, navigating a major life transition, or simply trying to manage stress and relationships with more ease, I offer a safe, judgment-free space where you can be truly heard.

You woke up one day & didn’t recognise yourself. Maybe it was a career that disappeared, a new baby, children leaving home, a move to a new country or a changing body. Maybe you’ve spent so long being everything to everyone else that you’ve lost sight of you. I work with women standing at life’s crossroads. Women navigating transitions that question their sense of identity and purpose. Together we slow down the noise, untangle what you’re feeling, and begin the work of rediscovering who you are. Not who you were, not who someone needs you to be, but Who You Are and who You Want To Be. I can support you and be a safe place for you.

Parenting Counsellors
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.

When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.

How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.

Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
