Marie Schroder

Sessions are available between 9 am and 8 pm Monday to Friday. 

I always try to arrange a counselling session time to suit my client/s and I try to be flexible where possible.. 

I am an experienced Person-Centred Counsellor/Psychotherapist. I have worked in a variety of settings including some voluntary organisations these include, Time To Talk/Way In, Rape Crisis and Cruse Bereavement Care, where I have worked with a range of individuals experiencing some challenging issues. Within my private practice I work with both individual clients and couples. I also work with corporate clients for either counselling or coaching.

I am a qualified Hypnotherapist and Holistic Therapist with many years of experience. I am currently an accredited Bereavement Counsellor and Supervisor working with Cruse Bereavement Care. I also facilitate and run groups for Cruse.

I work in an integrative way combining a range of modalities including CBT, NLP, Coaching, EFT, amongst others.

I am aware how we can all struggle without ever seeking out the proper help and support. Counselling can enable that support and space during these difficult and challenging times. It can bring such relief to talk to about things that bother us in the absolute confidence and together we can explore how it feels and how to move forward. Counselling can enable clients to free themselves of past and current emotional issues.

I work with both individuals and couples on an open-ended basis or for an agreed time period, with the aim of enabling you to enhance your life and to live it more fully.

Whether you are suffering from emotional distress, stress, anxiety, self-harm, depression to relationship problems. I believe in offering an accepting, understanding and listening environment in which clients can explore whatever is concerning them most, I want my clients to have the most positive and successful experience that they can, in order to help them move forward with their lives. I believe that the relationship between the client and the counsellor is the essence to an effective and successful outcome within the therapeutic relationship.

My counselling practice is based in Rickmansworth within easy reach of Rickmansworth station, and the M25. It is on the Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire border (Northwood, Watford, Little Chalfont, Amersham, Chorleywood, Denham, Uxbridge are all close by) and it is a fifteen minute walk from the etropolitan line station.

I aim to create a warm, caring and non-judgemental place where you will feel safe to talk about any difficult thoughts and feelings.

I work in a Person-Centred way and offer empathy, integrity and unconditional positive regard. 

First sessions are an opportunity for us to get to know each other a little and then decide; if you would like to have further sessions, if the timing is right or if another service is perhaps suitable. We would explore your current situation and consider what you are looking for and what might be best approach for you. The first session would also include the practical details such as confidentiality and its limitations and any necessary paperwork. 

Under the current circumstances, I am able to offer a 15min phonecall,  Zoom/WhatsApp/Facetime video call in order to discuss what support you are seeking and how we might work together. There is no charge for this.

We can then discuss the possibility of further sessions. 

Sessions are available between 9 am and 8 pm Monday to Friday.

I am an experienced individual and group supervisor and hold a Certificate in Supervision for Cruse Bereavement Care, having worked with Cruse since 2013. I am accredited with ASCENTIS and hold a Certificate in Supervision. I currently supervise both qualified and trainee psychotherapists within a group setting and on a one-to-one basis. I offer person centred supervision to groups and individuals. As a trainer I am able to keep abreast of theoretical links to practice, but I believe in valuing and supporting the experience of supervisees in relation to their clients to be of major importance. I aim to enrich and develop the knowledge, skills and experience of my supervisees and to provide a non-judgemental, collaborative environment where supervisees feel supported to meet all aspects of their clinical work.

I am a qualified Counsellor and Counselling Supervisor and I have many years of experience working as a Person-Centred Counsellor and integrative therapist.  I am also an accredited Bereavement Counsellor, Group Facilitator and Supervisor working with Cruse Bereavement Care. I was previously a Supervisor for Time To Talk/Way In.

The intention is to meet the needs of clients, to encourage self-reflection and to provide a relationship that is both challenging and supportive.

I offer a warm, friendly, professional environment to enable you to reflect upon your practice and work with clients and consider any issues that arise.

I am currently offering online supervision to local supervisees and my groups, with a gradual return to face-to-face work as we come out of lockdown.

My private practice provides a safe and confidential space for us to work together. My counselling practice is within easy reach of Rickmansworth station, and the M25. It is on the Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire border (Northwood, Watford, Little Chalfont, Amersham, Chorleywood, Denham, Uxbridge are all close by. There is adequate parking and if commuting by train it is a ten to fifteen minute walk from the metropolitan line station.

The first session involves us getting to know each other and finding out what you are looking for from supervision. If we both feel that it would be beneficial to work together, we will sign a supervision agreement, and we will review our work together after a few sessions to check how things are going.
