Nerissa Mauricio, BACP

Nerissa Mauricio offers calm, steady support for people facing big life changes and emotional strain. She works with those feeling isolated, stuck, or unsure who they are. Nerissa aims to listen without judgement and help people make sense of their experiences so they can choose what to change next.

Nerissa trained at Re-Vision in North London and holds a Diploma in Integrative Transpersonal Counselling. She practised at Re-Vision's Low Cost Counselling service for three years before moving into private practice. She is a BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP and has seven years of professional experience.

Her approach combines developmental, analytic and humanistic ideas with a soulful focus. In sessions she may look at family history and childhood influences to understand present patterns. She often uses images, metaphors, dreams and story to reach what feels unspoken.

Work can include noticing how the body holds emotion, and using gentle movement and breath-work to access feelings. The style is collaborative - she journeys alongside the person and honours the uniqueness they bring. This is practical exploration rather than quick fixes.

Nerissa helps people address a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and grief. She also supports those coping with life changes, career questions, ADHD and compassion fatigue. If you are seeking a thoughtful, reflective space to think things through, she may be a good match.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape the way people connect and respond to others; it can help when patterns in relationships cause pain or confusion. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and acceptance so the person can find their own direction. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on identifying and reshaping emotional responses to strengthen how someone experiences and manages key feelings.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapy process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to choose which methods suit a person's goals and temperament. Choices are reviewed as the work progresses so the approach can change if needed.

The original biography does not specify which online session types are used, so please confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a person's schedule. It also lets people use imagery, drawing and verbal reflection in ways that fit their day-to-day life while maintaining the collaborative, exploratory style described above.
