Maureen Schild
B.Ed., M.A (Psychology of Therapy & Counselling)
Dip.Psych. UKCP.

I have been engaged in the field of counselling and psychotherapy for almost twenty years as both Psychotherapist and Trainer. I trained in psychosynthesis psychotherapy at the Institute of Psychosynthesis, London, with John Firman and Ann Gila, authors of The Primal Wound.

For me, psychosynthesis offers the most inclusive vision of the human psyche, acknowledging a spiritual dimension which can make itself known through psychological issues. The inclusivity informs my therapeutic work with groups and individuals. I have a Masters degree in the psychology of therapy and counselling from Antioch, Ohio, USA and made the Psychodynamics of Letting Go my area of special study at this level.

As well as being a Trainer with twelve years of experience as senior faculty at the London Institute, I am a qualified Supervisor and Training Therapist. I have also trained in chemical dependency counselling and have developed and taught courses on the addictive diseases for several counselling training organisations.
