Profile

My name is Maxine, I am a qualified counsellor, offering a very relaxed, down to earth, grounded style of therapy. I understand that life can be challenging , and that the best of us can lose our way or sense of direction at times. My aim is to try and restore the balance in life and to help you free yourself from whatever problems are bothering you, or keeping you awake at night.  I do not offer any holistic therapies, so no tree hugging or crystal stroking, but I do offer a very warm, open, genuine approach, relying at times upon both my own intuition, and my own life experience. I truly believe that emotional intelligence cannot always be learned, and believe that I have a natural ability to 'tune in' to people.  I provide one to one therapy, both in my own home and via home visits to suit individual needs. 

My approach is mainly humanistic, whilst integrating elements from other approaches, both psychodynamic and cognitive therapy.  I like to think of myself as being a very open minded, non judgemental therapist.  My aim is to convey genuine empathy and understanding, and work together with my client, with the absence of any barriers or prejudice, to find realistic solutions to their issues. I have also studied Psychology and am continuing to learn more, as I prefer the more logical approach to therapy. I can work with many emotional issues, such as depression, anxiety, self harm, anger management and others, and can offer support and understanding to many of the issues faced by ordinary people such as divorce, relationship problems, or bereavement. 

I am able to offer therapy and understanding to victims of both sociopathic (anti social personality disorder) ASPD and narcissistic relationships/associations. I have studied both in much detail and fully understand and empathise with the dynamics of these destructive relationships.

I have worked with children and adolescents in a local secondary school, dealing with all manner of emotional problems,  I have also worked for a local bereavement charity, providing therapy which incorporates many other, interrelated emotional problems.
