Hello, I'm Maki. I am a Psychodynamic counsellor. I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and I provide a safe & reflective therapeutic space in which to explore and understand emotions, feelings and behaviours.

My approach is based on the understanding that significant events and relationships in our early life experiences can influence the way we feel and behave in the present.

Psychotherapy is a collaborative process, and it can take courage to want to change in some way and admit to yourself that maybe you can’t do it on your own. I will listen to you empathically and supportively, without judgement and in a confidential environment.

By exploring your emotions together I will help you understand and overcome any complicated feelings you may have about yourself or other significant people, or anything you may feel is holding you back from living a happy and fulfilled life.

My experience:
• Honorary therapist at Albany Trust, a specialist counselling and psychotherapy charity, focusing on a positive approach to sexuality and relationships
• Bereavement support at Cruse Bereavement Care
• Samaritans

My qualifications:
• Diploma HE in Psychodynamic Counselling
• Ascentis Bereavement Support accredited
• The Baby and Infant Loss Accredited Practitioner
• FIL Rainbow Baby Practitioner
• I am fluent in English and Japanese
