Integrative Counsellor/ Supervisor

Therapy for your soul

An enchanted place where your needs reign supreme

Quote

“In the hands of a skilled therapist, healing becomes a transformative journey of self-discovery.” “Therapy is a gentle reminder that you are deserving of compassion, understanding, and healing.” “A therapist's empathy creates a bridge of connection, guiding you towards your own inner strength.”

A little about my journey ......

What I offer ...

A portal to self-discovery and healing awaits in the embrace of therapy. Within the sanctuary of my practice, I offer a haven of confidentiality, safety, and warmth, where you can explore the depths of your being. Together, we'll unravel the knots of your struggles, seeking the root causes of your challenges and uncovering blind spots. As we journey towards a brighter tomorrow, we'll chart the path towards your aspirations and goals, empowering you to live a life rich in meaning and fulfillment.

My practice welcomes clients from diverse communities, starting at 11 years old and beyond. Whether you hail from different cultures or experiences, you'll find here a kindred spirit in me. Our weekly sessions can be open-ended or tailored to your needs, and we can explore the best medium of communication between face-to-face, Zoom, or phone sessions.

What will happen in your first session.

In our first session, we'll embark on an assessment to gauge our compatibility and determine our shared journey. I'll strive to understand where you stand, and you'll have the space to inquire about the therapy process. Together, we'll find the best time to begin your therapeutic odyssey.

Testimonials

“In my sessions with Margaret, I was initially nervous due to a negative past experience, but her kindness and patience were greatly appreciated during a challenging time in my life. I am grateful for her support and the lasting positive changes she has helped me achieve.“

“Despite the difficulties, Margaret has consistently shown unwavering support when others have given up on me. I am thankful for her dedication and commitment to my well-being. “

“Ms. Prince has been instrumental in guiding me through the counselling process, enabling me to explore and address painful memories from the past. Her approach has been both effective and engaging, fostering growth and healing. I value the time spent with her and have requested her continued support even after my departure, recognizing the impact she has on students.”

“The weekly sessions with my therapist have become a source of comfort and support, as she provides a safe space for me to share and be heard. I appreciate her attentive listening and the dedicated time she gives me each week, making our interactions meaningful and beneficial for my well-being. “

“Following the loss of my mother, I found solace in connecting with Ms. Prince, as she offered me short-term counselling that was immensely helpful during a difficult period. Her support was invaluable, and I will always be grateful for her assistance during that time of need.”
