Maggie Jamieson, Psychotherapy & Counselling. MSc., BSc., UKCP Reg.

About me

I’m trained as an integrative psychotherapist and draw on ideas from Gestalt, existential psychotherapy, psychodynamics, mindfulness. I see self-awareness as key to psychological health, healing and wellbeing and this underpins the way I work.
I offer a non-judgmental, open, focused and supportive space where you’ll be listened to and encouraged to pause, self-reflect,  discover more about yourself. I’ll support and challenge you to look with curiosity and compassion (not self-criticism) into yourself, your feelings, thoughts and whatever is troubling you. Through gaining a broader perspective you can find your path forward.

Bereavement counsellor: I gained over 5 years experience as a Bereavement Counsellor in an NHS hospice where I also had additional training. I'm particularly skilled and attuned to work in this field and my experience includes working with those who've suffered traumatic bereavements such as a sudden death, a suicide, the death of a child.

I'm also experienced in working with people who bring a wide range of other issues to therapy, for example:

• Generalised anxiety disorder
• Panic attacks
• Relationship difficulties
• Divorce & separation
• Depression
• Family difficulties
• Childhood issues/trauma
• Difficult memories
• Low self-esteem or lack of confidence
• Unresolved issues from the past
• Trauma
• Life transitions (ageing, retirement, divorce, redundancy, illness)
• Bereavements
• Sexuality
• Long term illness
• Work related issues
• Identity issues
• student concerns (e.g. exam stress, adapting to university life)
• infertility & IVF

I see clients weekly for both long-term and short term (6-10 sessions) work. I also work with psychotherapy/counselling trainees.

You can contact me by email or phone if you have any queries or to arrange an initial session. As I may be with a client when you phone, do leave a voicemail and I'll call you back as soon as I can. I aim to answer all enquiries within 24 hours (Monday-Friday).
