You Don't Have to Keep Up Alone

Sometimes life feels like it is moving around you, without you. You might be keeping up on the outside while feeling behind on the inside. Counselling can help you slow things down, get clear, and start living the life you want.

At Forward & Up Counselling, Maggi supports individuals who want to feel more grounded, improve their relationships, and move forward with greater self-acceptance and worth.

What You Can Expect

Warm, collaborative, and solutions-focused — with room for levity when it helps.

A Safe, Honest Space

An honest, transparent, non-judgmental space where you are able to feel vulnerable, seen, heard, and understood — with a practitioner who is approachable, accepting, and real.

Evidence-Based Tools

Drawing on CBT, REBT, person-centred therapy, family systems, and narrative therapy — sessions give you concrete strategies and insights, not just a space to talk.

Your Journey, Your Pace

Growth happens in small, achievable steps that add up over time. Maggi works collaboratively at your pace — building the lasting tools and insights you need to thrive.
