My name’s Maxine and I’m a qualified Counsellor and Hypnotherapist with over 20 years’ professional and personal experience of addiction.
Rock bottom became the solid foundations on which I rebuilt my life.
Having personally struggled with addiction in the past I can truly empathise with my clients. I’ve been at rock bottom and therapy was my life-line: I know first-hand the amazing impact it can make.
I decided to train as a therapist so I could help people with similar problems recover from addiction and rebuild their lives.
If I can do it, so can you; I will show you how.
My practice incorporates extensive experience of several therapeutic and coaching methodologies.
As well as being an accredited Drug, Solvent and Alcohol Addiction Counsellor and hypnotherapist, I am also qualified in cognitive-behavioural therapy, NLP and life coaching.
