Maximillian Mustafa-Holzapfel

My availability is a mix of daytime and evening sessions and I do not work Fridays or weekends. I treat bank holidays as normal working days when sessions fall on them, unless the client wishes to cancel. When I take time off, I give all clients plenty of notice, and set an out of office email so that anyone contacting me is made aware of when I will be back.

I am a person-centred therapist working in 50 minute sessions either weekly or fortnightly by online video call.

I work with clients to support each person through their own process and understanding of themselves and how they come across to others.

I am a facilitator of the client process rather than leading it, however where needed I will support a client with making decisions about how to start, and/or how to make a session structure that works for them.

I work based on trust, honesty and openness.

My main areas of interest and knowledge are the intersections of: queer identities, gender issues (including cis, trans, enby, and intersex), polyam/non-monogamous relationships, families with mixed ethnic backgrounds/growing up third culture, disability/illness (including hidden) and difficult parenting/parented relationships. Over 18s only.

I am open to working with any kind of client, regardless of lifestyle choices and history.

I currently also do volunteering hours counselling with Frontline19, and have worked with the Black Trans Foundation.

I offer a free twenty minute consultation over video call to discuss your needs in counselling, any questions that you might have and to check that we both feel comfortable working together. After this sessions are 50 minutes. My prices range from £45 to £60 per session, and I sometimes offer reduced fee sessions on a discretionary basis.
