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, build their confidence, communicate better, understand themselves, 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.
I have extensive experience with managing stress/burnout, anxiety, and depression, processing trauma and pain, helping clients navigate challenging life events and transitions, and gaining a deeper understanding of themselves. My non-clinical approach is particularly well-suited to young people and teens, or people looking for an 'alternative' approach.
My approach appeals to those who are looking for a therapist that isn't too rigid, formal/ clinical, but also isn't too new-agey either. Instead, I find balance with my comforting, non-judgemental, client-centred, and approachable style. LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent friendly.
