About Maggie Amin
I am extremely passionate about the work I do and wholeheartedly believe in the life-changing difference that psychotherapy and counselling can make to peoples’ lives. I feel privileged to be able to walk alongside my clients, to experience them change and find new meaning in their lives and in doing so allow my clients to impact me and allow me to grow with them.
Driven by a life-long belief in the power of health and fitness as a major contributing factor to mental wellbeing, I have used sport, yoga, mind-fullness and healthy eating to keep me grounded and balanced throughout my current role as psychotherapeutic counsellor, wife and mother of two as well as my previous ten-year career in finance. I have achieved a number of sporting goals including: running the London marathon and over ten half marathons; and climbing both Kilimanjaro and Annapurna in the Himalayas.
