Marielle Quinlan

Marielle Quinlan is a PACFA counsellor with seven years' experience based in Australia. She works with people feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. Her practice is also attentive to concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image and the effects of separation.

Marielle uses a mix of evidence-based techniques and intuitive, in-the-moment interventions. Sessions typically focus on what is happening now and on practical steps a person can try between meetings. She aims to build straightforward rapport so conversations are direct and easy to follow.

Her approach draws from a range of theories and methods gathered during integrative transpersonal training. That means she can bring different ways of thinking about a problem and match them to the immediate issue. People can expect a blend of structured techniques and more flexible conversation when needed.

Marielle often works with patterns that repeat in relationships and in how people respond to stress. She pays attention to how attachment, control or avoidance can show up in daily life and in choices about work and belonging. Those themes are explored with practical ideas for changing small habits.

Sessions are conducted in English and Portuguese. Fees vary by location and are delivered via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Marielle draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside integrative transpersonal ideas. Evidence-based approaches focus on clear skills and steps you can practise between sessions, and are often used for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes. Transpersonal-informed methods pay attention to personal meaning and present-moment awareness, which can help when someone is rethinking purpose or facing a big shift.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. She works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's goals and preferences, and adapts over time as needs change. Clients can expect discussion about options and simple experiments to test what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins during a workday and remove the need to travel. They also make it possible to continue work when relocation or other changes happen, while the therapist and client work together to find rhythms that suit regular life.
