Talking and developing insight alone is rarely enough to create the deep changes many seek.
Maxine
I am an Approved DBR Consultant, DBR Trainer in training, EMDR Europe Accredited Consultant Supervisor, and holistic psychotherapist and work virtually with clients globally. I've authored book chapters, lectured in Psychotherapy, and run wellbeing retreats. My career has been dedicated to facilitating deep, transformational healing, believing that deep healing allows us to tread more gently on Earth.
During my career, I worked across diverse fields, from family violence and abuse to oncology, palliative care and dissociative disorders. Finding early attachment wounds, trauma, loss and neglect being the underlying threads, I studied and trained in specialised trauma-focused approaches and as my private practice evolved, individuals globally came to me seeking deep, transformational change, particularly those for whom other approaches or spiritual paths had not provided the healing they wanted.
I describe my practice as ‘holistic’, integrating mind, body, and soul, and underpinned by neuroscience, consciousness studies, and traditions that honour our body’s innate wisdom and our interconnectedness. Having trained in various modalities, Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) has become my primary approach.
Outside of work, I love gardening, blustery coastal walks, my cherished English Pointer, writing, creating, and spending time in nature, feeling blessed and humbled by the beauty and mystery of interconnectedness and the natural world.
My hope is to help you reconnect with your true essence and vitality, so together we can remember and reclaim who we really are, contributing to our own healing and that of the collective whole.
