Hi, I’m Maxi — a relationship counsellor, registered supervisor, and accredited provisional psychosexual therapist. I support people to reconnect with themselves and others through warmth, curiosity, and compassion. Whether you’re exploring intimacy, navigating relationship challenges, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I aim to create a safe, respectful space. As a neurodiverse practitioner from a culture where sex and sexuality are often suppressed, I understand how complex it can be to explore identity, desire, and relationships in an affirming way.

Maybe you’re navigating trauma, questioning your identity or how you experience the world (e.g., gender, sexuality, neurodivergence), or you've been feeling the impact of systems that haven’t made space for you. Maybe you're just wanting to feel heard, better understood, to move in directions that feel more authentic to you. Whatever it is, you shouldn't have to navigate it alone. I’m committed to offering a space where your experiences are taken seriously, and met with care, dignity, and compassion.

Hi, my name's Michele and I offer counselling and psychotherapy to adults who are experiencing emotional distress that prevents them from functioning well in their work and personal lives. You may want to see a psychologist if you are experiencing excessive worry, panicky feelings, low mood, low energy or loss of interest in things. You might be going through a life transition, experiencing grief after a loss or having relationship difficulties. You may have grown up having painful and difficult experiences early in life which prevent you from functioning freely and creatively, or from forming positive relationships with others.
