Background and approach
Maggie combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT, Client-Centered Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy in ways that fit each person’s needs. This mix supports work on mood problems, panic, impulsivity, and relationship or communication problems. She brings seven years of clinical experience to the room.
She pays attention to identity-related concerns such as gender dysphoria and LGBT issues, and to additional areas like attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, and body image. Her background in social work also informs how she addresses family problems, parenting, and career-related stress. Maggie offers several online session formats including video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Information about scheduling and next steps is provided through the service’s Start Therapy flow.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on actions that align with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, rumination, and making changes during hard life transitions.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the person leads the pace of change. This approach helps people build self-understanding and confidence through careful listening and reflection.
Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and helps separate a person from their problems so they can find different, more helpful narratives. It’s often used when identity, shame, or repeated patterns are part of the concern.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then tailor methods accordingly in a collaborative way.
Online therapy here includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats allow for flexible scheduling and make it easier to keep consistent contact between sessions. For many people the variety of options makes it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life, try different ways of communicating, and continue work when in-person meetings aren’t possible.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Narrative Therapy
Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
