Testimonials
"I have been working with Meriel for the past 7 months to help me integrate some beautiful but challenging psychedelic experiences. I found Meriel to be extremely open-minded and empathetic, and her approach to be full of warmth and wisdom. She is very knowledgeable and experienced in latest therapeutic approaches and helped me process some painful memories but also taught me very practical tools for experiencing and managing strong emotions. I was especially impressed with how well she was able to manage our sessions virtually, and how attuned she was to feelings and reactions that came up during our sessions even through the screen. Our work together has been truly transformative. I feel much more resilient and prepared to cope with daily stresses but also able interrogate and evolve in deeper aspects of my life and psyche. I feel very grateful to have found Meriel and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again in the future."

" I can only recommend Meriel!!! Her personality and way of working helped me work through some very deep and substantial trauma in a safe, comfortable, healing manner. The sessions with her changed me and my life for the better.

In therapy, I experience Meriel as very professional, but at the same time very empathetic and appreciative. She is fully responsive to my needs and approaches sensitive situations very carefully, always asking if it's okay if we continue and guides me well through the therapy. Therapy is not always easy, but with Meriel as my therapist I feel I am in good hands.

"Myself and my partner (28 M, 28 F) got in touch with Meriel as we were attempting resolve some growing issues between us. As partners in a long-term non-monogamous relationship, we both immediately felt that she had a very strong understanding of such non-standard relationships. We ended up separating, but remain good friends to this day, due in large part to the work we did under Meriel's careful guidance. As a native English speaker who moved to Switzerland, I also really appreciated the way in which Meriel covered the expat experience in Zurich.
Meriel also happens to be effortlessly cool, which makes her sessions feel like you're hanging out with a friend, rather than a professional!"

"I came to Meriel in an extremely difficult moment of my life. She provided safe space for me to open up, share details which were embarrassing and painful and be able to move through unimaginable pain. Meriel is extremely knowledgeable, caring, professional and most of all, helpful. If you are looking for someone to walk the difficult path with you, while showing you the road to healing, do not hesitate to work with her."

"I met Meriel on a day where I felt like my entire world had been falling apart, and the identity of myself that I knew was all false. It was devastating and I needed help. That’s when I met Meriel, and she instantly helped me to tune with myself rather than focusing on the trauma and sad stories I was repeating in my head. She helped me to cope up with my emotions by drawing and coming back to the centre rather than drowning with all my emotions.The techniques we practiced truly helped me day-by-day, and continue to do so.
I hope you will also receive the important help that you need from Meriel." -

"Meriel is a great enrichment to my life questions!
I met her during a time of crisis and was relieved to finally have found someone who understood me. She is a very self-reflective, emphatic and above all culturally sensitive therapist who helped me with my concerns with passion and benevolence. She always met me at eye level and was always appreciative. After the sessions I felt that I was in a good position and received a lot of good tips and suggestions to get my life flowing again. "

"I found Meriel online needing help with dealing with past trauma. I had no previous knowledge of her and decided to give the initial consultation a try.
This is the best decision I have made for my life. Unlike other therapists, Meriel uses her clinical expertise and combines it with just the right amount of humanity.
She really understands people.
This coupled with the practical skills she teaches you, helps you to really understand what’s going on within you and empowers you to take control of your own life’s experience toward living well and being successful in your life goals.
Meriel responds to messages quickly, her terms and conditions are well communicated and you know exactly what’s going to happen. She is honest, forthright, very good at her job, and trustworthy. I highly recommend Meriel Stanton. Thank you for all you have done for me ."

"I have taken sessions from Meriel and had wonderful and interesting experience with her.
She is so empathic and goes extra mile to help her client. She puts her all efforts for the recovery of a client. She is a great listener and non-judgmental. I found her quite professional, and I am impressed by her level of motivation and passion to learn in her field.
I wish her all the best and highly recommend to everyone across the globe."

"I began seeing Meriel during a health scare and after a break-up, and she helped me navigate a fraught emotional landscape. She also accompanied me through Covid-19 (and post-Covid issues). More importantly, underlying all the life crises, she has helped me uncover triggers and brought some recurring issues to my awareness. Her emphasis on body work is new to me, and extremely helpful in reorienting me when I get too stuck in my head. Always gentle and non-confrontational, Meriel nudges and challenges at the same time providing a comfort and stability that makes it possible to face painful repetitive patterns. I highly recommend her as a therapist."
