Here is what my clients say about me:
Assistant Educational Psychologist
Max is a fabulous practioner and person. She is warm, empathetic and caring which goes a long way in this field of work. She is innovative and willing to take on new learning and challenges with a smile…. As a supervisor, Max offered warm safe spaces for growth and development. Her ability to offer holistic advice supported my growth and confidence as a person and a practioner. She can bring humanistic elements into coaching, as well as demonstrating models/frameworks. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Max as a coach, colleague and practioner.
Secondary SENCo
Maxine is everything you look for in an EP. Professional, honest, reliable. She has great working relationships with staff, pupils and parents and always puts the needs of learners first. She is by far the best EP I have worked with in my teaching career. I would highly recommend her services.
Headteacher
Always helpful, Maxine provided insight and valuable advice to our Alternative Provision setting for children presenting challenging behaviour. Good sense, good humour, good impact.
Assistant Headteacher
Coaching with Maxine has been such a rewarding and beneficial experience. Her ability to put you at ease and use questioning to encourage you to think outside of the box has enabled me to achieve goals set. This wouldn’t have been possible without her guidance and support. I would highly recommend her services.Â
Educational Psychologist
Max is supporting me to develop as an EP through providing a safe and reflective space, and by gently questioning my thinking and practice.
Educational Psychologist
Max is my professional secure base; I feel empowered to explore and develop my EP practice knowing I’ve got a safe reflective space to come back to.
Deputy Headteacher from SEMH Primary School
The group supervision model delivered by Maxine has a clear and concise structure to help find solutions more effectively. It allowed staff to discuss openly their own thoughts and suggestions to resolve the initial problem and together we were able to identify a solution. This is a great model that can include everyone’s voice.
Assistant Educational Psychologist – Coaching
This was my first experience of coaching; however Maxine made me feel safe and in control throughout. Maxine is a fantastic problem solver and supported me to unpick feelings and lead me to an action plan. After our session I felt lighter and more confident in what my next steps are.
Educational Psychologist – Group Supervision
I really love group supervision led so wonderfully by Max. It is so supportive to link with fellow EP colleagues using the group supervision process to share issues, problems and generate solutions in a collaborative, structured and supportive way.
