About me
Are you feeling constantly on edge, struggling with 'what if' thoughts, or finding it hard to switch off and rest? I am here to help!
Hi, I am Mariella. As a qualified CBT therapist, I help adults and young people (8+) navigate the heavy weight of anxiety, stress, trauma and low self-esteem.
Reaching out for support can be daunting, but it is a powerful step in helping your future self. I provide a calm and warm space where you can talk through what’s on your mind without fear of judgment. Life can be heavy, and my role is to help you navigate those challenges with genuine support and professional guidance.
My approach to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is far from a 'one-size-fits-all' manual. Instead, we’ll work together to find specific strategies that actually fit your life, giving you the tools to manage your mental health with more confidence and resilience. Whether you’re dealing with things from the past or just trying to get through the week, I’m here to help you move forward.
I work with Adults and Young People (8+) experiencing:
- Generalised anxiety and overthinking
- OCD and intrusive thoughts
- Past experiences/trauma
- Phobias, panic attacks
- People pleasing and difficulty setting boundaries
- Low self-esteem, confidence and self-critical thoughts
- Health anxiety
- Stress and burnout
- Self-harm
How I work:
I offer a collaborative and gentle space to help you understand the 'why' behind your current struggles. While CBT provides the framework to challenge unhelpful patterns, I bring a compassionate focus to the work- especially for those dealing with shame or a harsh inner critic.
Together, we’ll work to understand where these feelings come from, helping you move toward a more supportive relationship with yourself. Our sessions are about more than just change; they are about helping you feel steadier, more grounded, and truly heard
Next Steps:
Whether you are seeking support for yourself or for your child, the first step is a simple conversation. I offer a free 20-minute consultation to ensure I am the right fit for your needs. Simply reach out via email to enquire!

Member organisations
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
