About me and my therapy practice

My name is Maria de Ridder. I am a psychotherapist working in private practice in the Chorlton and Didsbury areas of Manchester.

I have led an interesting and varied life, and bring a wealth of experience in many areas of life to my practice.

It is a great privilege to do this work, and as such I aim to offer a safe space which honours the uniqueness of each client. If you are feeling stuck in life and believe talking therapy could help, please do not hesitate to get in touch. I offer flexibility with my sessions according to lifestyles; I can meet with you either face to face or online.

I can offer a free 15 minute consultation call.

Practice description

The principle modality I use is called Transactional Analysis; a type of psychotherapy which looks at how the past affects the present and looks at any unhelpful patterns we may developed. I also offer mindfulness based, relational and trauma informed approaches where applicable. My key areas of interest are relationship difficulties and childhood trauma.

My first session

Before the first session, I ask that clients have a zoom or telephone call with me so that I may assess our suitability to work together. This is also your opportunity to assess whether I am the right therapist for you.

During the first session, we will go through a series of admin questions and questions about your general health, well-being and family history. The rest of the session is for you to talk about what has bought you to therapy, and ask me any questions about the way I work.
