Ingrid Schultz

I am a BACP accredited  counsellor & psychotherapist with more than 25 years of clinical experience. I work with individuals and couples and support parents of children with mental health problems. 

I have recently completed a post qualifying course in couple therapy with Tavistock Relationships. I hugely benefited from this training, developing a more in-depth understanding of the dynamics within couples and how to work with couples more effectively.

Prior to becoming a counsellor, I was a social worker within mental health. For more than 12 years I worked as a GP counsellor within the NHS. 

My specialism is in short-term counselling (please look on my website for further information: www.ingridschultz.co.uk), but I also offer time-limited & open ended counselling contracts.

The initial appointment with a new client or a new couple is used as a counselling assessment. This is an in-depth exploration about why the individual or couple is coming now, what they are looking & hoping for from counselling, their current circumstances and their past history.

Seeking counselling is a brave step, especially if you have no previous experience. But it can be a huge relief to be with a professional person in a confidential setting where only you matter.

My practice on the Bath side of Frome is easily accessible from Warminster, Westbury, Trowbridge, Shepton, Wells and the surrounding villages.

I qualified as a psychodynamic supervisor in 2006.

I offer supervision to trainee or qualified counsellors either individually or in small groups. I can also offer telephone supervision. (please see further details on my website:www.ingridschultz.co.uk). 

I currently work one day a week as a supervisor for a large counselling organization (GCS) in Gloucestershire.

As a supervisor I offer an environment of respect, trust, openness and honesty. My aim is to support and enable a supervisee to the best of my abilities, but also to provide a holding and nurturing environment, as at times counselling work can be very challenging and demanding. I encourage each supervisee to develop their own way of working within the BACP Ethical Framework.

I offer a support, mentoring and a read-through service to counsellors working towards BACP accreditation.

I also offer supervision to professionals within the helping and health professions, who would like to reflect on and think about their work.
