Ms. Maxine Altman

About this Service

I am a BACP and UKCP accredited psychotherapist and coach with 10 years’ experience in counselling services and private practice. I work with individuals and couples, and supervise therapist colleagues. Through gentle exploration and with deep respect, I listen to my clients as they make sense of their experience and find ways of dealing with it. I use a range to therapeutic approaches to help people to understand difficult or confusing feelings. Alongside a private practice in London, I tutor at the City Lit in the psychology and counselling departments on eating disorders, and coach businesses in stress management.
