Maxine Preston

Are you struggling with what life is throwing at you, and in need of a time and space just for you to lighten the load you are carrying.  I'm Maxine a fully trained integrative counselling.  I blend a person centre theory to follow your agenda with a Psychodynamic approach to understand your patterns of behaviour and how these impact your life. I also offer psychoeducation as and when this is needed, your best interests are always paramount in the relationship.

I offer online and telephone counselling, to allow give my clients flexibility in busy lives.  Through my life experiences, counselling training, work in charities and school I developed a strong belief in the confidentiality of the therapeutic relationship to support my clients, working together at the time and pace that is as individual as each and every person

The only certainty in life is that change happens and this can be hard to cope with. I can support you with loss and bereavement, anxiety, depression, addiction, menopause, life stages, separation/divorce, emotional dysregulation, anger issues. I specialise in ASD, ADHD neurodiversity and parents with SEN children.

During our first session, which I will guide your through,  we can agree on a working contract and if there is specific goals that you have.  I will also ask you some assessment questions to allow me to get a sense of who your are, your expectations for counselling and how best to support our work together.
