Mrs Maria Lumsden Rieder
Psychotherapist
verified by TherapyRoute
“In my work, I draw on systemic approaches, psychodrama, and cognitive behavioural methods, always adapting these to the individual needs and life contexts of the people I work with. A central aspect of my practice is positive psychology, with a strong emphasis on strengthening personal resources and developing what I describe as “change intelligence” — the ability to understand, shape, and sustain meaningful personal change.”
About Me
I am a psychologist and psychotherapy practitioner with extensive experience working with people from diverse cultural and multinational backgrounds. My work focuses on psychological well-being and emotional change processes, integrating systemic approaches, psychodrama, and cognitive behavioural methods. I am particularly interested in positive psychology and in supporting individuals to develop their personal change intelligence.
Approach
That breadth informs how I structure sessions: clear, paced and responsive to the cultural threads you bring. I work from Basel and with clients in English or German, offering in-person and online meetings that fit your schedule and needs. Sessions often mix focused dialogue with short enactments or practical experiments to rehearse new ways of relating, plus brief between-session reflections to track what shifts; the emphasis is always collaborative and concrete. People facing cross-cultural change, burnout or difficult life transitions often find this practical, steady way of working helpful.
