Marysia Dillon
Registered Mental Health Nurse (RMN) & DBT Therapist
Marysia is a Registered Mental Health Nurse and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) Therapist with nearly 10 years of NHS mental health experience, supporting children, young people, young adults and their families.
She has particular experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by their emotions, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or are struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, self-harm, relationships, stress or major life changes.
Marysia began her career in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), working with young people experiencing complex and acute mental health difficulties. She later moved into a specialist community role, where she developed her expertise in DBT and delivered individual therapy, assessments, skills-based interventions and therapeutic group work.
Her approach is warm, compassionate and practical. She takes time to understand each person as an individual, creating a safe and non-judgemental space where clients can talk openly, better understand what they are experiencing and work towards meaningful change.
Drawing on her DBT experience, Marysia helps clients develop practical skills to manage difficult emotions, cope with distress, improve relationships and find healthier ways of responding to challenging situations. She also has experience supporting neurodivergent clients and adapts her approach around each person's individual needs, strengths and experiences.
As a Mental Health Nurse, Marysia considers the wider factors that can affect wellbeing, including relationships, family life, education, physical health and social circumstances. She can offer mental health assessments alongside short or longer-term therapeutic support, depending on each client's needs and goals.
Ultimately, her aim is to help clients understand themselves better, feel more confident managing life's challenges and develop skills they can continue using long after therapy has ended.
