Evidence-based techniques and flexible online care
Maxine works with a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine exploration of thoughts and feelings with practical skills training. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and developing step-by-step strategies to shift them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and obsessive tendencies. Another approach emphasises practical coping skills and relapse prevention, teaching concrete tools for stress management, emotional regulation, and improving sleep and daily routines. She also uses coaching-informed methods to support goal-setting, motivation, and career-related changes for clients seeking clearer direction.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Maxine treats this as a collaborative endeavour. She works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and circumstances, and adapts techniques so the plan fits the client rather than forcing a single method.
