Hey Lovely If you are reading this, I understand that you are struggling and I want you to know that you CAN feel better.... Reaching out is the hardest part, I promise. Once we recognise that we need some outside support then we are taking the first steps towards our healing. So I am guessing that you are looking for a new way to move forward in your life. Perhaps you have tried some other therapies and nothing has worked for you yet.

My name is Tom Maxwell and I am Body-psychotherapist and massage therapist based in Brighton & Hove. I trained in Body-psychotherapy and Biodynamic massage therapy at the Cambridge Body Psychotherapy Centre. ​Prior to working as a Body-psychotherapist I spent over a decade working for the YMCA as a support worker. It was both a challenging and rewarding role providing a strong foundation for retraining as a psychotherapist.

My aim is to give you the time and space to talk these issues through. I focus on the person and what they want to achieve through therapy rather than look for a diagnosis. I can help you to explore your emotions, create new insights, facilitate change in your life, and break troubling thought or behaviour patterns. In a nutshell, my personal therapeutic approach is pragmatic, compassionate, and individually-tailored.

Humanistic counsellor working in conjunction with you to look at an area of your life or a problem which is holding you back from living the life you want. Experience of working with drug and alcohol addiction either one to one or as a relationship counsellor. Working with any two people affected by addiction. Experience of working with anxiety and depression looking at daily coping strategies and life changes.

I am an integratively trained counsellor which, to the layperson, simply means I can work with a number of different psychological approaches and theories. This flexibility allows me to select the approach most suited to each client’s needs. We all have our own individual style of communicating, listening and conveying how we feel and what we are thinking. Understanding the personal life-view and values of each client is what makes for a powerful experience in the counselling relationship and allows real shift and freedom to take place through the work.
