Maya Cockburn

I am a person-centred counsellor and somatic arts therapist offering a safe, supportive space in which you can explore your difficulties in your own way and at your own pace. I listen attentively, with warmth and total acceptance, working with you to help bring clarity and meaning to those aspects of your life that isn’t working.

I believe you hold the potential for your own healing and I endeavour to create a trusting therapeutic relationship for you to explore your issues openly and freely. Change can happen when we have greater awareness and understanding of our situation, enabling us to view our issues from different perspectives. Together we find a way for you to move forward, feel empowered and make the changes needed for a fulfilling and satisfying life.

I also use a creative, embodied approach through somatic explorations and imagery. This helps us to understand, at a visceral level, the emotions that lie beneath our words. We’re often not aware of how much tension or distress we hold in our body. Through gentle explorations we can bring to light buried feelings that may originate from past or present situations.

Whether you prefer purely talking therapy or a somatic approach I welcome working with a variety of issues such as lack of worth, lonliness, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, loss of identity, addictions, sadness, grief, loss, anger, spirituality and more.

I have over 30 years’ experience working therapeutically and creatively with people of all ages and abilities. This includes working as a movement psychotherapist within the NHS in psychiatric hospitals and day centres. 

I am currently working both in person and on-line with adults 18 years and over.

I work at the The Wilbury Clinic in Hove which is close to bus routes and Hove Station and 

The Old Diary in Glynde (near Lewes) with free, easy parking or 10 mins walk from Glynde station

I am available for face to face sessions and on-line. Sessions are 50 mins 

I offer a reduced fee of £20 for our initial meeting, recommending that this takes place according to whether you prefer face to face or on-line sessions. This session is an opportunity for you to talk about what brings you to therapy, ask questions and decide if you would like to work with me.
