"I am incredibly grateful for the support I received from Marys in overcoming my struggles with drinking. Her therapy sessions were instrumental in helping me break free from the grip of alcohol addiction. I recommend Marys to anyone seeking help and guidance on their journey to sobriety."  

Thomas

"Words cannot adequately express the profound impact therapy had on my journey of overcoming burnout. The expertise in burnout and the compassionate approach created a space where I could openly share my struggles without fear of judgment. Through our sessions, I gained a deeper understanding of the underlying causes of my burnout and learned practical strategies to manage stress, set boundaries, and prioritise self-care."

Maarten


Marys tailored the therapy sessions to my specific needs, providing me with practical tools to manage my disordered eating & social anxiety and navigate challenging situations. Her support and encouragement throughout the process were invaluable. I felt truly heard and understood, which boosted my confidence and allowed me to make significant progress.

Juan

"I am thrilled to share my experience of overcoming panic attacks through therapy with Marys. She immediately put me at ease. Over time,  I learned how to recognise triggers, regulate my breathing, and challenge negative thought patterns. Today, I am proud to say that panic attacks no longer control me.

Linda

"I frequently travel for work, initially finding it exciting, but gradually it became more and more overwhelming. I started experiencing anxiety and difficulty breathing. Thankfully, a close friend suggested the PURA VIDA Psychology Practice, and online therapy completely transformed my life. It was exactly what I needed. With PURA VIDA, I can connect with my psychologist Marys no matter where I am. Whether I'm in Amsterdam one week or Paris the next, I can easily schedule a quick session. It's incredible how convenient it is. All I require is my phone or laptop, and I can have a face-to-face meeting online with my therapist. If you're in need of assistance, I strongly advise against waiting any longer. With online therapy, you can prioritise your mental health regardless of your location!" 

Jim

"My name is Sarah, and I want to share my transformative journey with high-functioning autism through therapy. Initially doubtful, therapy became a life-changing decision, helping me accept myself and discover coping mechanisms for my anxieties and communication challenges. Marys is a true expert and she really helped me a lot. Today, I stand proudly, embracing my uniqueness and confidently facing challenges with the skills gained from therapy. My message to others facing similar struggles is to seek therapy's support, as it can truly make a difference in overcoming obstacles and thriving.
