About me and my therapy practice
Are you struggling with what life is throwing at you, and in need of a time and space just for you to lighten the load you are carrying. I'm Maxine a fully trained integrative counselling. I blend a person centre theory to follow your agenda with a Psychodynamic approach to understand your patterns of behaviour and how these impact your life. I also offer psychoeducation as and when this is needed, your best interests are always paramount in the relationship.
Practice description
I offer online and telephone counselling, to allow give my clients flexibility in busy lives.
