It can feel a bit daunting talking to a stranger and takes time to build trust.
I am a fully qualified and registered psychotherapist and supervisor working with adults, adolescents and couples on the Isle of Wight and on-line across the UK. Sometimes life can be challenging, we can feel lost or stuck or that we have no control over what is happening. We may struggle with relationships or feeling good about ourselves. Expressing thoughts and feelings confidentially without being judged can help us to feel heard and understood. It can also bring clarity, insight and a better understanding of ourselves and how we relate to others.

Working with me will centre around breaking free from negative thoughts and self-critical beliefs, empowering you to cultivate confidence and establish deeper connections with those who matter most.
Do you need help with a difficult time in your life? Are you feeling low or anxious, consumed with worry? Perhaps what helped in the past is no longer working. You may be feeling numb or withdrawn. Are traumatic events from your past resurfacing? These challenging experiences are part of us, and when we feel ready it is good to have help. I work closely along side you and together we find out more about yourself, what you want, what is blocking you and how you might overcome this. By addressing these issues can help remove shackles allowing you to grow and realize your full potential.

The way I work, which is non-directive, allows you, the client, to explore your concerns in a safe and accepting environment.
Hi, I am Max ( Qualified Person Centred Therapist) and I know from my own experience, that life can sometimes be a struggle. Events and experiences can leave us feeling lost, isolated or directionless . At such times, reaching out for help can feel very difficult and it is important that your search leads you to someone you feel you can trust . Counselling is an opportunity to explore thoughts and feelings ,which might be affecting many different areas of your life. With careful and empathic listening, I endeavour to support you in finding your own way through what is often too complex and difficult to manage alone.

Every person is unique so sessions are tailored to individual needs.
Welcome.I offer counselling services to adults and young people. I also offer Lego therapy for children aged 5-12. Counselling is performed in a confidential, empathic and non-judgemental space to help clients feel comfortable, and to experience being really heard. Over time, people disconnect and struggle to find meaning in their lives. I can help people to deepen self-awareness and self-understanding so they can reconnect with themselves and others.

Taking the sheer step of deciding to change is already a significant change in itself.
Having worked with many clients over the years, I have a good understanding of what human distress looks like. Often, we try to push the difficult feelings (both physical and emotional) aside and just ‘get on with it’. Sure enough, it works for a while, but then there comes a point when the usual coping strategies just stop working, and reaching out for help feels somehow wrong too; life feels stuck in vicious circles. If this sounds frustratingly familiar, then you are not alone. With my extensive experience, I can support you to reach your goals, or simply to figure out together first what the goals might be.

You will determine the pace at which we go and we will agree together on the areas we will focus on.
I am a senior, HCPC registered Counselling Psychologist with over ten years experience of working within the NHS. Early experiences can shape our present but they don’t have to dictate our future. I want to help you develop insight into how you may have found yourself here and to explore with you how you would like your life to look and how you would like to move forward. Unconscious patterns of relating can play a pivotal role in distress within relationships and psychological therapy can throw light on its roots and what may be underpinning and maintaining these difficulties.

With so many counsellors offering their services, finding one who feels right for you, someone you feel able to trust with those thoughts and feelings you may be struggling with, is really important.

I’m here to help. My passion for helping others stems from a genuine desire to see individuals reclaim their lives and find inner peace. I know how important it is to feel listened to, heard and understood.

Counselling is a journey.
I wonder what it feels like to find yourself here, looking for some kind of support? Maybe you are struggling to 'make sense' of what you've been experiencing in your life recently? Many of my clients inhabit a crowded yet empty world, in which they cannot easily 'hear' themselves, or feel that they are not 'understood' by those around them. Perhaps you feel a little like this too? My first hope as a counsellor is that working collaboratively you will feel both heard and understood - maybe for the first time. When this happens, we begin to develop the inner resources needed to discover and engage with who we truly are.

Perhaps your child is unhappy at school or experiencing confusion, distress, loneliness, social difficulties or is struggling to navigate the many developmental and emotional challenges that are part of growing up. Maybe you have tried every approach you can think of to support your child and feel that some clarity or a different perspective on your situation would help. It might be that a specific event or big change in your child’s life has unsettled them and they would benefit from speaking with a trained professional to be able to better understand what they are going through.

I understand that it may not always be easy to talk about what is happening for you at first, but I will seek to support and help you work through it and alleviate your distress, at your pace.
I seek to offer you a warm non judgemental, safe space to think and talk about anything which may feel confusing, uncomfortable, painful, traumatic or distressing . You do not necessarily need to be at crisis point to benefit from counselling, you may simply be feeling more anxious, tearful, stressed or angry and wondering how to get back to what feels more normal for you.
