Nerissa Mauricio

Nerissa Mauricio offers calm, non-judgemental support for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed. She works with issues such as anger, anxiety, stress and grief, and she helps people looking to understand repeating patterns in their relationships or sense of self. Nerissa aims to listen and walk alongside each person so they feel heard and understood.

Nerissa trained at Re-Vision in North London and completed a Diploma in Integrative Transpersonal Counselling. She practised in a low-cost counselling service for three years before moving into private practice. She is a BACP Registered Member (MBACP).

Her way of working draws on developmental, analytic and humanistic ideas with a soulful emphasis. Sessions can look at family history and childhood influences and how these shape current reactions. Nerissa also uses images, metaphors, dreams, story and creative drawing to access material that may feel hard to put into words.

The body and movement are part of her approach too, and she may bring breath-work or gentle movement into sessions when that feels useful. Her style is person-centred and exploratory, aiming to make meaning of experience rather than offering quick fixes.

People come to Nerissa for a range of concerns, from relationship and intimacy-related issues to addiction, mood difficulties and coping with life changes. She welcomes international clients and offers therapy from the United Kingdom. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step will be used to connect you with her practice.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current feelings and reactions; it helps when past connections influence anger, trust or closeness in relationships. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions, offering acceptance and listening so someone can find their own answers and develop self-understanding. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps map emotions and interaction patterns, and it can be useful when strong feelings drive conflict or distance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nerissa will talk through what feels most relevant and adapt methods to your needs and goals. This is a collaborative process where she and the client decide together how to proceed and which techniques to try.

The biography states she works in private practice online and in person, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let a person use creative tools such as drawing or imagery in their own space while talking things through with the therapist.
