Consultation Services
Maggie provides counselling and psychotherapy for personal and relationship concerns for adult individuals.
She has trained as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist in the Masterson Approach, a refined treatment for working with character structure and disorders of self.
At the heart of the therapeutic work undertaken together, clients discover a stronger sense of self, personal responsibility, self-worth, and empowerment that propels them towards the fulfilment of personal goals or the discovery of new possibilities and directions.
Therapy is usually mid to long term depending on the needs of the individual and is conducted on a weekly basis.
