Maxine provides therapeutic care that's specific to you and your needs. Working at a pace to suit you, in sessions you'll be able to talk about your experiences, thoughts and feelings from the past or the present, and explore what's been holding you back from leading the full life you can live. Exploring your inner world and your relationship with others and the world around you, over time you'll find yourself feeling more comfortable within yourself, with a greater sense of knowing who you are and how you wish to forge your path in the world.
Therapy sessions are offered on either a time-limited basis or long-term, in-person, online or hybrid.
