About me

Welcome

Deciding to start therapy takes courage. Whether you are navigating relationship difficulties, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and burnout, or processing grief, you don't have to face it alone.

My name is Marie Yeo. I am a BACP Accredited Psychotherapist and Coach working with individuals and couples. I offer in-person sessions from a private, peaceful garden room in Charlton (SE7), as well as online sessions for clients across the UK and internationally.

How I Work: Therapy + Coaching Traditional therapy helps you look back to heal past wounds, while coaching provides forward-focused tools to build your future. Because I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in both Integrative Counselling and Coaching, we can blend both approaches seamlessly:

Understand & Heal: Safely explore subconscious patterns, early experiences, self-doubt, and life transitions in a warm, non-judgmental environment.

Action & Growth: Apply practical, tailored tools to manage stress, establish healthy boundaries, and make meaningful progress in your personal and professional life.


Areas of Expertise

Anxiety, Stress & Trauma

  • Trauma & PTSD: Safely processing past traumatic experiences, single-event trauma, or complex relational trauma in a grounded, manageable way.
  • Anxiety & Panic: Overcoming chronic worry, social anxiety, panic attacks, and health-related anxiety.
  • Burnout & Work Stress: Managing executive stress, workplace boundary issues, high-pressure demands, and career burnout.

Self-Esteem, Identity & Personal Growth

  • Self-Esteem & Self-Doubt: Healing the "inner critic," overcoming imposter syndrome, and building genuine self-worth and confidence.
  • Identity & Life Transitions: Navigating identity shifts, age-related transitions, cultural identity, or existential questions about purpose and direction.
  • Personal Development & Coaching: Action-oriented support to help you achieve personal goals, establish healthy habits, and navigate major life changes.

Relationships, Couples & Family Dynamics

  • Couples Therapy (EFT): Emotionally Focused Therapy to resolve recurring conflicts, heal betrayals, rebuild trust, and restore intimacy.
  • Relationship & Attachment Issues: Addressing anxious or avoidant attachment styles, codependency, repeated relationship patterns, and breakup/divorce recovery.
  • Family & Perinatal Support: Navigating complex family dynamics, parental stress, and postnatal depression or anxiety.

Low Mood, Loss & Life Struggles

  • Depression & Low Mood: Working through persistent sadness, emotional numbness, lack of motivation, and feelings of emptiness.
  • Bereavement, Grief & Loss: Compassionate support for navigating the loss of a loved one, relationship breakdowns, or major life changes.
  • Addictions & Unhelpful Habits: Exploring emotional triggers and underlying causes behind addictive behaviors or coping mechanisms.

Practice Locations

In-Person Therapy: Practice situated in a spacious, quiet garden room in Charlton, SE7 —offering a calm, private sanctuary separate from daily life.
Online Therapy: High-security online sessions for UK residents, international clients, and English-speaking expats across Europe.
First Session & Next Steps: It is completely natural to feel nervous before your first appointment. Our initial session is an informal, low-pressure opportunity to discuss what brings you to therapy, ask any questions, and see if my style feels like a good fit.

There is no obligation to continue after our first meeting.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Accredited register membership

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
