PTSD Trauma Therapy & Counselling
in London

I was in a toxic relationship while suffering from PTSD, which made it harder for me to keep the symptoms under control, to the point I found myself unable to cope with daily responsibilities at work and at home. When I went to Maggie for help, I desperately needed for someone to pull me out of the black hole I had found myself in. One step at a time, we went through my background and through all the experiences that (some of which I hadn’t realized) had brought me to the point I was at. Maggie helped me regain control of my life by coming to terms with the past, forgiving myself and others, and letting go of all the destructive thoughts in my head. Maggie helped me overcome PTSD, reconnect with myself and others, overcome my sense of helplessness, appreciate myself more and gain strength and confidence to walk away from the toxic relationship I was in. Overall, Maggie turned my life around and I will be forever grateful for all of her help.

I didn’t have any expectations of what therapy could do for me. I went to Maggie because I knew that my lifestyle and general approach to life needed to be changed and that I needed to discuss an extremely distressing experience which had happened to me with a trained professional.

I liked Maggie’s approach, and she made me feel safe and capable of dealing with the issues which I needed and wanted to explore. Over the course of a year I learnt a lot about myself, my reactions to situations and the triggers to those reactions. In particular I started to recognise all of the things which I could change to make my life better.

I now have the tools to be able to deal with any issues and/or problems that may arise. I have made a number of changes to my life some small and some big and all of the areas of my life that I wanted to change (and even those I didn’t know at time needed changing) have changed for the better. I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Maggie and the results speak for themselves.

I have seen Maggie for a short batch of sessions, on 4 occasions, over a period of several years. She has provided me with invaluable support through many problems I’ve needed help with, from post-natal depression and general mental health issues, to career decisions I needed an objective view on, to more recently, work/life balance conundrums and parenting struggles I’ve been facing. Without fail, each time, Maggie has been able to very quickly distil the crux of what’s likely to be at the root of the issue, and given me highly insightful and actionable advice that I can take and use, even long past attending one to one sessions.

Maggie has a great nature and manages to be highly professional while also being very sensitive to what your emotional needs might be at that time. Maggie, and the services she provides, have been absolutely transformational for me in coming to terms with childhood trauma and understanding its impact on my present, while also not allowing it to dictate my future. I cannot recommend Maggie highly enough.
