MY COMMITMENT

A life dedicated to learning.

Over the 40 years I’ve been working & studying, my approach has grown in line with new information. I’ve added new ideas to my solid foundation in the basics – how our brains work, how early & later trauma impacts our minds & bodies, the importance of culture, beliefs & relationships, human diversity, & the many different developmental ages/stages of life. I love the complexity!

Something I learned along the way is that positive growth is possible for everyone, anytime. Here are some of the ways I work:

1:1 sessions (in person and online)

Group work

Workshops

Professional supervision

International speaker

University lecturer

Private professional training and mentoring

ABOUT ME

It's possible...

It's possible...

I’ve always thought I was depressed. But what I’ve learned in therapy is that I have been bored – undernourished! What a change. I’ve become much more aware of my sensitivities, what excites me AND my love of complexity. Bored no more!

TESTIMONIALS

Maggie has a way about her that makes me feel safe, secure, and cocooned in reassurance. In just a year I came to understand the intensity of my emotions, and learned ways to soothe my nervous system that tries to run on high octane 24/7.

The first thing I really remember hearing from Maggie was “You are not a problem to be fixed”. I couldn’t believe a therapist was saying that. I’d had every diagnosis you can think of… I’m slowly beginning to understand what she meant.
