Dr. Persa Maerz

Dr. Persa Maerz welcomes people who are struggling with anger and related problems. She offers calm, straightforward support for stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship worries. Her style aims to help someone feel heard and make small, steady changes that help day-to-day life.

Dr. Maerz holds HCPC registration and has worked in the United Kingdom for nine years. She has experience in child and adolescent mental health services as well as adult services, and has held consultant, lead and supervisor roles in clinics and services. She also provides clinical supervision and teaching to trainees and other psychologists.

Her sessions draw on approaches such as client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), mindfulness and psychodynamic work. That mix lets her tailor the work to what a person needs, whether that is learning new coping skills, spotting unhelpful thinking patterns, or understanding how past events affect reactions now.

Dr. Maerz has supported people with trauma and post-traumatic stress, grief, self-esteem problems, sleep and parenting concerns, addictions and sexual culture issues including BDSM and kink. She also works with issues linked to culture, discrimination and adjustment after moving country.

Sessions focus on practical steps alongside reflection. Clients can expect a collaborative pace, with goals reviewed regularly and techniques practised between meetings. International clients may be accommodated and sessions are delivered in English.

Approaches that suit online therapy and everyday life

Client-centred therapy focuses on understanding the person and building a trusting relationship. The therapist listens closely and helps a person set goals and find their own answers, which is useful for anger and relationship worries.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It teaches practical tools to spot unhelpful thinking and change reactions, which can help with anxiety, low mood and anger management.

Dialectical behaviour therapy, DBT, brings skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. It includes techniques for distress tolerance and emotional regulation that people can practise between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to a person’s needs, goals and preferences. Decisions are made together so the plan fits the person rather than the other way round.

Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Discussing practicalities up front helps make sessions useful and manageable for everyday life.
