Welcome
Hello, I’m Mags, a UKCP-registered
psychotherapist offering short- and long-term therapy for adults in Leeds.
I became a psychotherapist because having therapy changed my life and made
me want to help other people in the same way.
I’d like to help you to understand yourself better, make links between your past and present, and spot patterns in the ways you think, feel and behave. What happens between us in therapy will tell us a lot about what happens for you out in the world – and because I’m a relational therapist, I believe we can make use of that.
Working this way helps me support you to make positive changes in your life.
I like working with all kinds of people including those with unconventional
lifestyles, neurodivergent people and others who feel they may not quite fit into mainstream
society. I also enjoy working with people who are using other healing practices, such as breathwork.
My Experience
I’ve completed a four-year diploma in Relational Integrative Psychotherapy at Scarborough Counselling and Psychotherapy Training Institute, and continue learning and developing through further training and supervision.
Previously, I worked as a manager at a charity providing counselling for marginalised women and have also worked in inner-city communities, with homeless people, and people who have mental health problems.
I’ve spent most of my life working with people, and have always been interested in how we’re affected by our experiences — as children and as adults — and what support we all need to live happier and more meaningful lives.
Working With Me
It’s important that we feel we’re a good fit, so if you’re interested in working together, let’s have an informal chat before booking an appointment.
I offer a free 25-minute conversation by phone or Zoom, so I can find out a bit about you and what you want from therapy. From there, we can arrange a first appointment.
Some practicalities:
-
I charge £55 per session
-
I offer regular, weekly 50-minute appointments
-
I offer sessions at a room on a quiet street in Chapeltown and a room overlooking Gledhow Valley Woods in north Leeds.
