Maggie Smith

Hello and welcome! My name is Maggie and I am a qualified and experienced counsellor with experience of working in GP surgeries, NHS and IAPT (Improving Access to psychological Therapies) and private and voluntary sectors.  I also work with couples. I offer supervision to other counsellors and counsellors in training.

I use an integrative approach in my practice and use different models and techniques to suit the individual. Seeking therapy is a brave step and it takes a lot of courage to begin the journey of self awareness. I aim to provide a safe, warm, empathic and confidential service to all my clients to support you through the difficult times. I can also help you to learn effective techniques as recommended by NICE (National Institute for Clinical Excellence) to manage day to day stress, anxiety and depression.

I offer long term and short term therapy with a special interest in personal development work.

Alongside my private work, I also jointly run private counselling and stress management services. We facilitate Psychological Wellbeing Sessions for stress, anxiety, depression and sleep problems. We also offer short courses for bereavement and loss, confidence and self esteem, anger and communication.
