   Thank you Maxine for your support. I wasn't in a bad place but knew that childhood events were still impacting my everyday life and wanted someone to talk this through with. Maxine was so insightful, helping me to gain clarity and understand just how much it has affected my life choices and relationships with the people important to me. I feel more empowered with better self esteem. I also feel like a work in progress that would benefit from going back to Maxine in the future. She is very easy to talk to, a good guide through choppy waters!

   I wasn't even sure what my problem's was but seeing Maxine was a great choice. Very easy to talk to and made a massive difference in a short time , stopped my nosedive into darkness and left me feeling like " I've got this " and I feel like I have a support if I ever wobble again.

   I was in a very bad place, my emotions were all over i did not know what was happening to me mentally or physically. Doctor's were convinced I had severe anxiety, depression and I was put on several medications. I was constantly refusing I was until I got worse and could not function daily. I have a loving supporting husband who could not help me and suggested I seeked help. I came across Maxine on the internet emailed her what was happening to me and that I needed help with my anxiety. Maxine rang me within a couple of hrs and I just broke down we arranged to meet. Maxine instantly made me feel at ease, I cried constantly through that first session but it felt so good to . I had several sessions with Maxine in which we spoke of my mum's passing, regrets, how I was there for everybody and felt the need to save everybody. Throughout our sessions my throat would hurt Maxine always said I was holding back and did not want to speak of something as it was to emotional and I had built a barrier which in time we would together get down as the hurt and pain was causing alot of my anxiety and emotions.Several sections later with alot of activities, reading and advice I opened up on the death of my son. Maxine was very professional and guided me through this unleash of emotions built up over the years, I wrote letters, I cried it was very emotional and I was exhausted after each section. Maxine has been there through it all with me, she helped me face my demons of guilt and gave me constant out of hrs support. I can never ever thank her enough for making me see that I was strong enough to deal with it all, and to make decisions that would change my life for the better. I am now on no medication and living as I should be. If you are reading this and need help I 100% recommend Maxine it's like home from home, no judgement just honest, caring advice and gentle guidance at your pace. Thank you Maxine

   Maxine has certainly changed my life for the better. She has really helped me to become a better version of myself, by giving me a greater understanding of why I am the way I am and the information and tools to know how to overcome everyday problems that I was facing. She is patient, gentle and a good laugh too. I have recommended Maxine to all of my friends and a lot of people that I know have been in touch with her! I wouldn't hesitate to get in contact.

   Highly recommend Maxine, I instantly felt comfortable talking to her. I wasn't sure therapy was right for me but several sessions later it was absolutely the right thing to do. She's helped change the way I think about situations reducing a lot of stress. Thank you Maxine!

   I am so glad that I went to Maxine for help! Before I decided to get help, my mind was in a very dark place. Everyday I felt completely worthless and that there was no point even getting out of bed in the morning. As a guy, I initially put off the idea of getting professional help for my mental state, as I thought it would make me appear even more worthless than I felt in my head already - and even worse, I thought I was not worth helping in the first place. From my very first conversation with Maxine, she made me feel comfortable with talking about my state of mind and the feelings I was experiencing at the time. It felt good to be around someone who did not judge me for the negative thoughts I had. Fast foward a few sessions later, I felt a complete change in my mental state. I was no longer having the repetitive self depreciating thoughts whizzing around my head - instead I felt more in control of my thoughts and my own emotions. Being with Maxine has helped me realize and understand that my own past experiences and personal trauma I faced as a child had shaped my underlying thoughts. As difficult as opening up about my past experiences and revisiting them was, I am so glad I had Maxine there to guide me and make me feel safe. I can honestly say I feel like a huge weight has been lifted from me. For the first time in a long while, I actually feel happy! To anyone out there who is considering getting help for their mental health or is going through a tough time, I really recommend reaching out to Maxine!

   Honestly life changing. In just four months, I have gained so much more than what I had set out to achieve. I never understood how lost I was until I discovered the sense of stability within myself that I feel now. It’s hard to describe to others what has changed, but I can say that the difference in how I feel, and how I deal with difficulties, is phenomenal. Maxine is extremely warm and kind, and very easy to talk to. There have of course been some uncomfortable topics that have had to be addressed in the sessions. Maxine is always empathetic, not in any way judgemental, and makes me feel very safe. My partner is also having sessions and we can see how she has approached our unique personalities and challenges, in different ways, which suit our personal progression and make us feel comfortable. I am immensely grateful for Maxine and I cannot recommend her enough.
