Counselling in 2601
Looking for a therapist who 'just gets it'? I'm Maggie Whitbread and I work mainly with clients wanting to: overcome/manage anxiety, break out of cycles of behavior that no longer serve them, communicate better, understand themselves, navigate life transitions, and start living authentically and whole-heartedly. As my client, you'll benefit from my patience, warmth, sense of humor, and my open-minded, integrative, modern approach to therapy. My day job is with a perinatal counselling service, so I also specialise in supporting people through pregnancy and postpartum.

People often feel confused, unsure or overwhelmed. Anxiety, distress, emotional pain and sadness can impede one's ability to engage fully in life. I will work with you to explore your own strengths, and build your resilience and coping skills. Together we will explore your challenges, and find ways to move forward. Safety, warmth and respect for individual differences are key to my approach. With a foundation of trauma informed practice, I use strengths based, person centred counselling, deep listening, art therapy, goal setting and mindfulness meditation. I have counselled people from all walks of life, on all life's challenges.

Coping rather than living? And old patterns no longer work the way they used to?
You may feel overwhelmed, lonely, disconnected, or unsure of who you are becoming. These experiences are more common than most people realise, and they often reflect a deeper internal shift or life reassessment. With over a decade of experience in mental health in Australia and the UK, I’ve seen how common these turning points are and how much relief comes from having a grounded, genuine space to talk about them.

I am a clinical psychologist based in Sydney who works with individuals who appear high-functioning on the outside but carry anxiety, trauma, or deep emotional fatigue. My clients are often insightful and sensitive, seeking clarity, healing, and a more authentic way of living. They come to therapy not just to manage symptoms, but to understand themselves more deeply, break long-standing patterns, and feel seen in a safe and compassionate space. I support them with a thoughtful, integrative approach that honours both science and the human story.

I work with adult women experiencing chronic overwhelm, trauma and disconnection from self. You might function well outwardly while cycling between coping and collapse, anxiety and shutdown. I support clients who feel exhausted by holding it together and are seeking steadiness, nervous system regulation and a more grounded, sustainable way of living.

As a peer in the queer and neurodivergence space, I am uniquely placed to provide a safe and healing space for you to explore the wants, needs and desires that have been hidden from others, and perhaps even yourself. I tailor my practice to my clients unique needs and take pride in a low expectation/demand style of support. I see the greatest change with my PDA clients who are rarely catered for, and those who have had limited or frustratingly low success with previous counselling experiences. I can be very flexible in how, when and where counselling happens but initially I prefer to work face to face.

I specialise in supporting individuals to navigate anxiety and stress, which often manifest as perfectionism, people-pleasing, overthinking, and feelings of exhaustion or burnout. When these challenges take hold, it’s easy to lose sight of who you are and the life you want to lead. Whether you’re caught in a cycle of looping thoughts or weighed down by decision-making, therapy provides a space to pause, reflect, and realign with what truly matters.
My approach blends practical strategies with deeper reflective work, helping you break free from unhelpful patterns.
