As well as embarking on therapeutic work to deal with past trauma or current issues such as depression or anxiety, I work with my clients to develop practices for resetting and regulating their nervous system.

Trained in Buddhist Psychology, Gestalt Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), the Enneagram & a Clinical Supervisor, I bring a wealth of experience, knowledge, joy and enthusiasm to working with others. The process of personal growth & transformation is not a solitary journey. With skillful support, we can transform our suffering into the good stuff.... like love, joy creativity and intimacy!

They may be navigating challenges such as anxiety, neurodivergence, or past trauma, but they are also seeking more than symptom relief—they want to reconnect with meaning, purpose, and joy.
I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating a range of challenges, including neurodivergence (such as autism and ADHD), trauma, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and learning differences. I provide therapy and cognitive or learning assessments to help individuals better understand themselves and access the support they need to thrive.

You might be carrying stress, pain, or emotional weight that feels heavy. Relationships may feel strained, and life changes overwhelming. Familiar patterns that once made sense may now feel like barriers. You long to be truly seen, heard, and supported. What if there is a different way forward? Gestalt Therapy offers a chance to pause, slow down, and explore your experience without pressure to fix anything immediately. You don’t have to stay caught in confusion or disconnection. Together, we can uncover new ways to connect and support yourself at your own pace.

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.
