Hi, I'm Maggie Olson-Kerrigan, a qualified Therapeutic Counsellor offering a safe, confidential, and compassionate space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings.
Get in Touch for a Free Initial ChatI hold a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, having completed my studies with a deep commitment to understanding the complexities of human experience. My training provided a robust foundation in various therapeutic modalities, allowing me to tailor my approach to your unique needs.
My practice is rooted in a person-centred approach, which means I believe you hold the answers within yourself. My role is to create a nurturing, non-judgmental, and empathetic environment where you feel safe enough to explore your thoughts, feelings, and challenges at your own pace. I integrate elements from other approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic perspectives, to offer a truly holistic and bespoke counselling experience.
I am passionate about supporting individuals through difficult times, helping them develop coping strategies, gain self-awareness, and foster personal growth. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, stress, grief, relationship issues, or simply seeking a space for self-discovery, I am here to walk alongside you.
During your online sessions, we can address a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress management, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, grief, and personal development. I am here to provide the support you need, wherever you are.

"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change."
Therapy provides a unique opportunity to explore your inner world without judgment. It's a space where you can gain clarity, develop new perspectives, and learn effective coping strategies to navigate life's challenges. Many people find therapy incredibly beneficial for personal growth, improving relationships, and enhancing overall well-being.
It's about understanding yourself better and building the resilience to face whatever comes your way, moving towards a life that truly feels "more than OK."
Understanding why others seek support can help you feel less alone in your journey.
