Maggie Crimmins

My usual working days are Tuesday and Wednesday and I offer sessions between 9.30 and 7.00. 

Drop me an email or message me to check current availability.

I`m Maggie, a BACP registered Adlerian counsellor and psychotherapist. I mainly work online (via zoom) or phone, but also offer face to face appointments in Llandeilo.

Adlerian therapy offers a collaborative, common sense approach to exploring our challenges and developing new strategies for both managing, and moving on from them. We will work together to help identify the thoughts and behaviours that may have once been helpful to you, but are now well past their use-by date.

I am also qualified to offer Solution Focussed Brief Therapy. This is   a short-term goal-focused evidence-based therapeutic approach, concerned only with the "here and now" and developing solutions rather than exploring what might lie beneath the problem.

In addition to my diploma in Adlerian Counselling and Psychotherapy, I also hold the following:

Trauma and Mental Health Informed Practitioner Diploma L3

Working in Sexual Violence Settings Diploma L3

I have a background in state education including 18 years as a specialist teacher focussing on children and young people experiencing social, emotional and behavioural difficulties. Part of my role involved writing and delivering staff training sessions. I also worked collaboratively with parents and carers and as part of multi-agency support networks.

 Whatever you choose to bring to our sessions is what we`ll safely explore  - there`s no fixed agenda.

Our view of ourselves, others and the world is formed in our childhood, and behaviours we develop then will remain with us even when they`re no longer helpful. We can work together to help you gain insight into them so you can choose  to try out new ones - if you`d like to.

Many of us have self-limiting beliefs; together we can explore where these come from, test whether they`re true or not, and discover ways of  initially reducing their volume, and later getting rid of them altogether.

 Our critical inner voice can be quick to ask "What on earth`s wrong with me?!!"; we`ll ask a different question, - "What`s happened to me that`s led me to develop these strategies and behaviours?" This will take us along a very different path away from harsh self-judgement to a place of understanding;  I`ll be there beside you offering encouragement and support as you travel along it. You are the expert on you; I can offer my knowledge and experience - together we might make a great team.

Call on 07988863109 or email me maggiecrimmins3@gmail.com to arrange a free 20 minute consultation call.

You can tell me a bit about what`s brought you to consider counselling and what you hope to gain from it. Most importantly, it`s an opportunity to gauge whether we might make a "good fit" so that your counselling experience is as positive as it might be.
