About Mari

Mari Syrad is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She also supports those dealing with relationship and family strains, parenting pressures, addictions, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem or body image. Mari speaks English and works with adults in the United Kingdom.

Mari offers short- and longer-term counselling tailored to what a person needs right now. She uses a person-focused style that centres the individual's experience and priorities.

Background and approach

Sessions are paced to suit the client, with gentle challenge when exploring difficult feelings and patterns. Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Existential Therapy. That means Mari listens for what matters to the person, and helps them find meaning and choices amid uncertainty.

The work often looks at values, identity, attachment and how past losses shape present life. Mari has three years of experience and holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She aims to create a steady, respectful space where people can make sense of painful events and learn ways to cope with change.

Sessions can address specific events such as bereavement, trauma or separation, as well as ongoing difficulties like chronic illness, compassion fatigue, addictions or career stress. Practical pacing, clear listening and collaborative planning are features of her work.

Online support

Mari works with Client-Centred Therapy which focuses on listening, empathy and supporting a person's own problem-solving. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, accepting space to talk through feelings such as grief, anxiety or low self-esteem. She also draws on Existential Therapy which looks at meaning, choice and values when people face life changes, loss or questions about identity.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Mari will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then shape sessions around the client's needs. The decision about methods is collaborative and can change as the work develops.

Online therapy can be very flexible. Video calls let people see each other and use visual cues, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit clients who prefer writing between scheduled sessions or who want more frequent, brief contact. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving and health constraints, and allow people to access registered or accredited professionals from different locations.
