Bio

Meriel is a licensed psychologist and body informed psychotherapist from Edinburgh, Scotland. She is an open-minded, non-judgmental therapist who works with integrity, sensitivity, skill, kindness, and clarity to support her clients. She is collaborative, flexible and culturally sensitive and creates a safe place in which clients feel comfortable to process and heal.

As a certified sensorimotor psychotherapist, her work is firmly grounded in modern interpersonal neurobiology and combines skilful talk therapy with mindfulness, the memory, awareness, and wisdom of the body and the breath. As such, her work is a synthesis of wisdom and training from various therapeutic modalities, such as transactional analysis, sensorimotor psychotherapy, internal family systems, EMDR, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

An avid reader, nature lover and keen surfer, snowboarder, yogini & cyclist, her clinical work and presence are increasingly enriched and informed by states of flow and immersion in nature – in addition to regular further training. Meriel runs her own psychological psychotherapy praxis by lake Zürich, where she works with adults and couples.
