About Maisie

Maisie Lambert is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting and self-esteem. She often helps young adults who are coping with transitions, relationships and the pressure of early adulthood.

Her background is in person-centred counselling, which means sessions focus on the client's own goals and pace. She has also trained in creative therapy methods and uses practical, accessible activities when these might help. Maisie aims to be direct and genuine in sessions, and keeps things free of judgement.

She pays attention to early life experiences and how those experiences shape current behaviour. That includes looking at attachment and abandonment issues, dissociation, and coping patterns that were once useful but now cause distress. She also supports people navigating family dynamics, blended family issues and separation.

Maisie has experience with a wide range of related concerns. These include body image, eating and food-related issues, chronic pain and illness, autism and Asperger Syndrome, communication and control issues, and caregiver stress. She also works with commitment and dependent personality patterns and avoidant personality traits.

Sessions are intended to be a straightforward conversation where the client sets the agenda and Maisie offers practical reflections and gentle challenges. She describes her approach as guided by the person in front of her, using whatever methods suit the client's needs. To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Person-centred counselling focuses on the client's priorities and pace. It involves listening, reflecting and following what matters to the person in front of the counsellor. This approach suits issues where people want to make sense of feelings, relationships or life transitions.

Creative therapy methods use non-verbal activities such as drawing, writing or other expressive tasks to open up discussion. These techniques can help when words alone feel hard or when early life experiences need a different route to be explored.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maisie will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adapt methods over time. This is a collaborative process where the client helps decide what feels most useful.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around study, shifts and travel, and keeping conversations going even when life is busy. The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to maintain regular contact and progress between appointments.
