I want you to know that you are not alone. The desires we share — to love and be loved, to embrace self-acceptance, and to feel in control of our lives — may seem straightforward, yet the journey to achieving them is often complex. I am here to support you, whether you're facing a small hurdle, a major crisis, or seeking the courage to embark on something new. I will consider it a privilege to be your guide and counsellor, offering a safe haven characterised by compassion, non-judgment, and strict confidentiality. Together, we can explore your challenges, navigate the complexities, and work towards creating the life you desire.

Life offers us all challenges, sometimes huge, sometimes small, these challenges present themselves so that we may grow and in the process become wiser. I will support you to lean into your experiences rather than moving away from feelings, learning to befriend them and in the process develop a closer relationship with yourself and others. Developing emotional agility is a natural outcome of therapy that provides agency for change. Issues include parenting, relationships, depression, anxiety, life direction, addiction and trauma.

Hi, I’m Maggie. We all get stuck sometimes. I hope you can find a way to have a happy life. My 15 years teaching meditation and working with groups has given me a lot of experience aiding people as they grow, develop and find more joy. In recent times I has moved into the counselling arena. I believe that given the right circumstance we all have the potential to grow into the best versions of ourselves. No matter what you are going through, there is always a path back to peace and happiness. The first step is to make the choice to do something to help yourself. If you are here, that's a great start.

Many of us have early negative relational experiences that deeply shape our adult behaviours, often manifesting in unhelpful ways that leave us feeling stuck, misunderstood, or disconnected. These early experiences can lead to challenges in our personal or professional lives, where familiar patterns of trauma responses—such as overspending, avoidance or people-pleasing —can surface again and again. Recognizing these patterns is the first step toward understanding how they are affecting your life. While understanding these patterns can be challenging, it’s also the key to transforming them.
