Mariana Psyrdellis , HCPC

Mariana Psyrdellis is a UK-credentialed psychologist with 12 years of professional experience who combines clinical practice, research, and teaching to support people facing emotional and life challenges. She is registered with HCPC - the Health and Care Professions Council - and applies a blend of cognitive-behavioural, integrative, and neuropsychological perspectives to understand and address presenting difficulties.

Across her career she has worked as a researcher, a college professor, and a scientist, bringing a curious and evidence-informed approach to clinical work. She has supported people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, motivation struggles, and the demands of life transitions. Her practice also attends to concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, communication and control problems, substance use, family conflict, and the fallout of separation or infidelity.

Mariana prioritizes sensitivity, respect, and compassion, tailoring dialogue and treatment plans to each person’s unique background and goals. She views personal difficulties as arising from the interplay of social and family context, identity, biology, communication patterns, and life choices, and adapts her approach to those particularities. She aims to support and empower individuals taking the courageous first steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Evidence-based approaches and remote therapy options

Mariana commonly draws on cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns; CBT is practical and often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship difficulties. She also uses an integrative approach that blends techniques from different models to fit each person’s unique history and goals, which is helpful when issues span mood, interpersonal dynamics, and life transitions. Her neuropsychological perspective offers attention to how cognitive processes and brain-related factors influence emotions and behaviour, which can inform strategies for concentration, motivation, and coping.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Mariana works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress and new insights emerge.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexible access to care across different time zones and schedules. These options make it easier for people to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access licensed professionals without travel, while preserving the collaborative and evidence-informed work of therapy.
