Mariana Psyrdellis, HCPC

Mariana Psyrdellis is a psychologist with 12 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and registration with the HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council). She works in English and Spanish and supports people who are navigating stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and depression. Mariana also helps with coping through life changes and carer-related stress.

Mariana uses cognitive behavioural ideas alongside an integrative perspective and neuropsychological understanding. She draws on clinical work, research and teaching to shape conversations and plans. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking and building everyday coping skills.

She prioritises respect, sensitivity and compassion in sessions. Mariana adapts the pace and language to each person’s background and needs. That might mean shorter exercises, checking how strategies land, or trying different ways of reflecting on a problem.

Common areas she addresses include attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, family tensions, body image and feelings of isolation. She also works with issues such as addiction, infidelity, guilt and immigration-related stress. These topics are explored with attention to the person’s life context and history.

Mariana’s experience as a researcher and college professor informs a clear, evidence-aware way of working. She aims to help people find practical tools and make choices that feel manageable. The therapeutic plan is agreed together and adjusted as needs change.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Mariana combines cognitive behavioural techniques with an integrative and neuropsychological perspective. Cognitive behavioural work focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviours, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress. An integrative stance means she draws on different methods to match the person’s needs, mixing practical exercises with reflective conversations. Her neuropsychological outlook pays attention to how brain processes and thinking styles affect everyday functioning and coping.

Finding the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will talk through options and try methods collaboratively. Goals, personal preferences and how symptoms show up guide which techniques are used and how sessions are organised.

The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit around caring duties or work commitments and can reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed, or for using video or audio to suit energy levels and concentration. Many people find this flexibility helps keep progress steady while managing everyday responsibilities.
