Maisie Lambert, BACP

Maisie Lambert is a counsellor with 11 years of experience who works in a warm, down-to-earth way. She aims to create a space where people can be honest about what they are feeling, and she matches her approach to each person’s needs. Maisie values straightforward care and uses a bit of humour when appropriate to help people feel at ease.

Her core training is in person centred counselling, which means the sessions are guided by what the client wants to focus on. She has also completed further training in creative therapy methods and draws on those options when they suit someone’s way of working. Maisie listens for patterns linked to early life and attachment, and she pays attention to how defence habits formed in childhood can still cause problems now.

She has particular experience supporting people with anxiety, low mood, trauma and abuse, and the stresses that come around pregnancy and the postpartum period. Family dynamics, parenting concerns and self-esteem are regular topics in her work. Maisie also supports people dealing with chronic pain, illness or disability and the unique pressures that brings.

Clients may bring issues such as communication difficulties, abandonment and attachment concerns, dissociation, eating and body-image struggles, or problems tied to blended family life and separation. Maisie aims to listen without judgement and help each person identify practical steps that feel manageable.

Her practice reflects a straightforward, person-led style where the relationship and small, realistic changes are central to progress. She encourages people to take the first step when they feel ready and to shape the work around their goals.

How person centred and creative methods transfer online

Person centred counselling focuses on listening, reflecting and following what the client brings. Online this means sessions concentrate on what feels most important to the person, with the counsellor responding in a way that helps clarify feelings and next steps. Creative therapy methods add hands-on or imaginative options, such as drawing, storytelling or symbolic exercises adapted to an online conversation; these can help when words alone feel hard to use.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Maisie will discuss different ways of working and try methods that suit the client’s goals and comfort level. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as the relationship and needs evolve.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions more easily around daily life and reducing travel time. Online work can make shorter check-ins or more regular sessions easier to manage for people juggling medical appointments or caregiving. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking so you know how sessions will be arranged.
