About me and my therapy practice

Hi, I am Max (they/them) and I am a queer, non-binary psychotherapist from Greater Manchester. My aim is to provide a warm and comfortable safe space for clients to explore a range of areas of their life which may be causing distress or discomfort. I have experience in working with trauma, anxiety, depression, self-harm, domestic violence, abuse and gender identity. I have a passion for working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community and I work with all aspects of sexuality, gender and relationship diversity.

I have experience working in a domestic violence clinic, primary schools, high schools and 6th form as well as non-profits across Greater Manchester. I work with all aspects of gender diversity, relationship diversity and sexuality as well as a range of mental health concerns such as depression, self-harm, eating disorders, anxiety, domestic and childhood abuse and trauma. My practice is also neurodiverse informed.

I am passionate about advocating for all gender, sexuality and relationship diversities and invite clients to bring all parts of themselves into the therapy room to be recognised and affirmed. I am a kink/BDSM and sex positive therapist as well as having experience working with trans and gender non-conforming clients. My work is trauma informed and neurodiverse informed.

Practice description

I am an integrative psychotherapist, meaning that I draw on many areas of knowledge and training and my core therapeutic approach is person-centred, which centres the client as the authority in their own life. I draw on other areas of psychotherapy such as humanistic, Transactional Analysis, GSDR, attachment and trauma-informed depending on what the client brings to their sessions. I tailor my approach to ensure that it is as individual as each client I see in order to accompany them on their own therapeutic journey.

I offer short or long term talking therapy online and face to face from my room in Stockport.
