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

About me

I’m trained as an integrative psychotherapist and draw on ideas from several  schools of thought – in particular from Gestalt, existential psychotherapy, psychodynamics, mindfulness. I see self-awareness as key to our psychological health, healing and wellbeing and this underpins the way I work.

Working in a relational and flexible way, I tailor my approach in response to each individual and their changing needs.
I provide a non-judgmental, open, focused and supportive space where you’ll be listened to and encouraged to pause, self-reflect and look beneath the surface; to discover more about yourself and find your strengths. I’ll support and challenge you to look with curiosity and compassion (not self-criticism) into who you are, how you think about yourself and why you do what you do. This process helps you develop deeper self-understanding, emotional resilience and to become clearer about the issues that are troubling you. Thus enabling you to find your best path ahead.

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).
