Maggi has been in practice as a therapist for over 20 years. Much of that time has been in private practice, but she has also worked in the NHS, in primary and secondary care, in hospices, and voluntary agencies.

Maggi's particular interest is in how neuroscience can help us understand the experiences that both we, as therapists, and our clients have in the world and how we respond to those experiences especially when trauma has occurred.

She taught on the PG diploma in counselling at Strathclyde University for 13 years until 2018. Prior to training as a therapist, she worked as a massage and sports therapist for over 15 years and this is where her interest in the connection between the body and the mind reinforced her relationship with neuroscience that came from her first degree in visual sciences in the early 1970’s.

Maggi is passionate about dogs and is also a professional dog trainer--which is another area where understanding neuroscience can be useful!
