Maria Schultz

Are you struggling right now facing something that impacts you day to day? perhaps things are busy in your mind making you feel anxious, feeling low or depressed, or you may want to express feelings about something that is going on for you that's weighing heavy on your heart.

Therapy can help; you don’t have to do it alone.

It can be a huge step to come to therapy, and I understand how daunting this can feel. We all need help sometimes, and I will do my best to make you feel at ease.  

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about the process or how it may benefit you. A warm welcome awaits.

I work online or I can offer face to face sessions in Berkshire as qualified BACP counsellor.  

Offering attention, patience, and space working together, we can form a relationship that makes you feel comfortable to explore your truth. I will listen non-judgmentally with compassion and empathy as we explore your story, thoughts, and feelings. This will be done at your pace.

I don’t guide or advise, but I do help support you in finding clarity. Together, we can explore your processes and gain a greater awareness of how these may be impacting you. This may help you identify your choices, recognise new possibilities, kickstart change, and uncover your resilience.

Counselling is a way of looking after yourself, showing self-compassion, and expanding self-awareness.

People come to counselling for a range of issues. Issues and experiences will impact each of us differently, so I work in a tailored way for you - aimed toward your way of working and desired outcome that suits your needs.

I offer both long-term and short-term therapy sessions to adults that are open-ended, allowing you to finish our work whenever you feel ready.

Initial Contact

When you reach out, we’ll typically start with a brief phone call. This conversation helps us understand your reasons for seeking therapy and determine if we’re a good fit to work together, and help you decide the right way forward for you.

Therapeutic Approach

Along with this person-centered approach, we may also in sessions look to see how the past can influence the present. Often, clients want to explore who they are and discover how their childhood has shaped who they are now; I welcome this psychodynamic exploratory work and see how beneficial that can be.
