Deborah Schroetter

I am available for counselling sessions from Tuesday to Friday, including some evenings. Please contact me to discuss your availability and to schedule a session at a time that is convenient for you.

I offer an integrative approach to counselling that brings together various theories and techniques to best suit the needs of the individual. My approach is centered around the person seeking counselling and their specific goals for therapy. Some reasons for seeking counselling with me may include addressing specific issues that are affecting mental health, feeling lost or unsure about the direction of one's life, seeking personal growth and self-awareness, or simply needing a supportive space to explore and process thoughts and emotions. I am here to support you on your journey towards change and self-discovery.

Qualifying in 2013, I have had the opportunity to work with several charities supporting individuals and their families. In 2015, I opened my own private practice and also gained a qualification in working with young people, an area that I am passionate about due to my previous experience in various roles and settings. In addition to running my private practice, I  currently serve as a clinical supervisor for MIND and have recently taken on freelance counselling work with Atrium HR, offering remote support to expatriates. This has allowed me to expand my cultural knowledge and gain a more diverse perspective. My practice is dedicated to providing a safe and confidential space for my clients.

I offer a free initial 20-minute meeting by telephone, online, or in person. This can be a valuable opportunity to answer any questions you may have about the counselling process and to determine if we are a good fit. During this meeting, we can also discuss my availability and how we can work together to meet your needs.

I am available for supervision sessions from Tuesday to Friday, including some evenings. Please contact me to discuss your availability and to schedule a session at a time that is convenient for you.

I offer a well-rounded approach to supervision for both adult and child and young people (CYP) work. My approach is based on an integration of several models, including Inskipp and Proctor's functional model, which focuses on specific tasks and improvement; Page and Wosket's cyclical model, which emphasizes the context of personal and professional development; and Hawkins and Shohet's seven-eyed model, which is a systemic approach that considers multiple lenses. By combining these models, I provide a comprehensive and flexible approach to supervision that addresses the diverse needs of my clients. My core approach is person-centered.

I  have 10 years of experience in the field of counselling, qualifying in 2013 and becoming a supervisor in 2019. In addition to working with children and young people (CYP) in a school setting for many years,  I offer counselling services to adults and CYP in private practice and work as a clinical supervisor for the charity MIND. I have also had the opportunity to work with expatriates as a freelance counsellor for Atrium HR, expanding my cultural knowledge and understanding. These diverse experiences have been valuable in my work as a supervisor, helping me to better understand and relate to the needs and experiences of my clients. I also have a strong understanding of different cultural perspectives, which allows me to provide inclusive and culturally responsive supervision.

I offer a free initial 20-minute meeting by telephone, online, or in person. This can be a valuable opportunity to answer any questions you may have about the supervision process and to determine if we are a good fit. During this meeting, we can also discuss my availability and how we can work together to meet your supervision needs.
