CLIENT TESTIMONIALS FOR MAXINE
- Maxine challenged and guided me in ways that I have not experienced before, I was able to see the role that I played in my life and I regained back my power to live the life I was really meant to. The journey has been so remarkable for me, I could literally write a book about it, but to sum it up in a few words, I went from being an aimless high school dropout, working in jobs that did not fill my soul, divorced and a single mum, to being completely in control of my life. ~Liz
- Whilst spending time in the southwest area, a friend of mine recommended Maxine as a good source to try breathworks as a therapy to help me with working through some areas of my life that needed attention. Well it turned out to be one of the best things I have ever done. Whilst I had seen therapists before, there had not been the same connection or satisfaction that I received from my sessions with Maxine. ~Steve M
- My experience working with Maxine has been rewarding. She treats our sessions with compassion, empathy and insight; she creates a safe space, free from judgment, which really allowed me to open up and express myself freely. During a time of adversity and dealing with trauma, Maxine provided me with the tools, warmth, patience & perspective needed to work through, manage and overcome the adversity at hand. ~Allira
What People should know and understand about Psychotherapy and its benefits
Psychotherapy is an evidence based practice that focuses on the whole person, encompassing somatic, emotional, mental, cultural, relational, and spiritual aspects of health and well-being. It is a holistic and relational psychotherapeutic approach addressing everyday concerns, & mental health problems.
While healing and symptom reduction may begin from the first session, the primary goal of psychotherapy is to address the underlying causes of distress rooted in childhood and past experiences. By bringing the unconscious patterns & behaviours to conscious awareness, lifelong change can be facilitated- helping individuals find value, meaning, and purpose from their suffering.
