Hello! I'm Maisie.

​

As a certified life coach, nature lover, and multidisciplinary creative, I’m passionate about guiding you on a journey of self-discovery and transformation.

​

My Journey

​

Born in the UK and raised amidst the breathtaking landscapes of New Zealand, I've always been drawn to the complexities of the human mind and the beauty of the natural world. My journey began in the world of acting, where I spent over a decade honing my craft. Every role I played, every character I embodied, was a step towards understanding the deeper questions of life and the human experience.

What questions was I posing to my audience? What truths were they uncovering in themselves?

This fascination with questioning and introspection naturally led me to the field of Life  Coaching and Therapy.

 

My Approach

​​

I believe in the profound impact that creativity and self-expression can have on emotional healing and personal transformation. This belief led me to earn an Advanced Diploma in the Therapeutic and Educative Application of the Arts and a Certificate in Counselling Using the Arts, both of which have equipped me with a solid foundation for guiding others in exploring their inner worlds through creative processes.

​

My approach is person-centred, focusing on the unique needs and experiences of each individual. I integrate evidence based creative exploration with an understanding of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Attachment Theory, Gestalt Psychotherapy, and Transactional Analysis, alongside a continuous engagement with the latest neuro-scientific research.

​

Currently, I am further refining my skills by pursuing a master’s degree in Integrative Arts Psychotherapy, which allows me to deepen my knowledge of how artistic expression can be harnessed within the therapeutic relationship to promote self-awareness and emotional growth. This training encompasses the six-relationship framework, which emphasises the complex interplay of the intrapersonal, interpersonal, and transpersonal dimensions of the therapeutic process.

​

Grounding my work in humanistic and existential philosophies means that approach recognises the inherent potential within each individual. I see my role not as a director but as a facilitator and companion on your journey, helping you unlock the deeper layers of your psyche and uncover the unique resources within you. Together, we work to create a space that honours your experience, nurtures your self-expression, and empowers you to find the keys to your own growth and fulfilment.

​

How I Work

​

 I will work alongside you, combining structured techniques with the option to use creative arts to help you reflect, set goals, and achieve clarity. The arts include: Art, Drama/Puppetry, Bodywork/Movement, Poetry, Music, Sandplay and Sculpture/Clay.

 

 Our sessions will provide a safe, nurturing environment where you can explore, express, and grow without judgment.

I have had the privilege of working with diverse clients, including Mind Charity and Sony Music, and I am excited to soon be working within the NHS providing Arts Psychotherapy. These experiences have enriched my practice, allowing me to support individuals from all walks of life.

Whether you're looking to clarify your life's purpose, overcome personal challenges, or simply need a trusted confidante, I'm here to help you every step of the way.

​

Why Connect with Me?

​

Choosing to work with me means entering a space where creativity meets clarity, where your potential is nurtured, and where your goals become achievable realities. Together, we’ll explore your path with empathy, curiosity, and a genuine commitment to your personal development.
