Profile
You'll find me close to Romsey's town centre. In January and February 2012 my fees are reduced from £40 to £30 per session. My practice is less than 5 mins walk from the train station and Waitrose. Daytime sessions last 90 minutes and evening sessions 60 minutes.
I use a range of talking and creative methods, according to the issues being addressed and your own preferences. Perhaps you just want me to listen initially, and then we might work more creatively to help you gain insight and develop your own coping strategies.
The success of our work together is based on a two-way process of trust and understanding. Here is one of my client testimonials:
"After a difficult time in my life I decided to turn to counselling. Maggie was easy to talk to, understanding and made me feel I wasn't alone."
