About Marieke
Marieke Winkel helps people dealing with trauma, grief, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety and stress. She supports those facing relationship and family concerns and people coping with big life changes. Marieke brings eleven years of practice to her work and speaks English and Dutch.
Her style is warm and straightforward. Sessions focus on what matters most right now. She listens, asks clear questions, and works with each person to set practical goals.
Background and approach
Progress is measured in small, manageable steps rather than jargon-filled plans. Marieke draws on several approaches to suit different needs. Attachment-based ideas can help if past relationships still affect day-to-day life.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used for people processing shocking or distressing memories. She also uses client-centred and psychodynamic ideas to help people understand patterns and feel more in control. She has worked in a mix of settings, including clinical services and specialist support for survivors of abuse.
That background gives her experience with complex trauma, domestic violence and dissociation, as well as longer-term issues such as chronic illness and ageing concerns. Her practice aims to combine practical tools with space to understand underlying causes. Marieke accepts people internationally and offers sessions in English and Dutch.
Costs vary depending on location and sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to her availability.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful, try different methods when needed and adapt based on the person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor the work to each situation rather than imposing a single method.
Online formats give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth, live chat is useful for brief check-ins and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments or mobility needs while still working through trauma, anxiety and life changes with registered or accredited professionals.
