Maxine Norrish

I provide a safe, confidential, non-judgmental space where clients are able to explore their inner self and feel supported during times of change or difficulty.

Originating from a nursing background in my youth, I re-trained as a counsellor and have been working in private practice for over 10 years. Prior to this, I worked with counselling agencies, specialising in University student/staff counselling and with a leading bereavement charity. I have experience of providing counselling for people affected by dementia and carers.

I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and adhere to their ethical framework.

People come from all walks of life, experiencing a wide range of difficulties. My therapeutic approach is integrative, which provides scope to work short or long term with clients. It also enables me to draw elements from different disciplines, including humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive schools of therapy. Working from within a relational framework, I can tailor the counselling sessions to best suit and benefit your individual needs and requirements.

I will not tell you what to do but encourage you to find the right answers for yourself. By carefully sharing and exploring your unique problems with me, you may find a new way of looking at your issues that enables you to reduce your anxiety and identify possible ways to gain more control over your current situation.

I work with individuals over the age of 18 years and do not currently offer counselling for children or couples. Counselling is available via telephone, zoom or in person
