About me

My practice
Maxine, the owner of With Nature Counselling, has over 23 years of experience in nursing, social work, and counselling.

Maxine offers evidence-based personalised therapeutic counselling outdoors in nature, as well as via telehealth. Maxine focuses on holistic health, incorporating physical, emotional, and environmental well-being into practice. She offers outdoor sessions in natural settings around Noosa and Coolum Beach, providing accessible walk and talk therapy, park and beach sessions.

Her counselling approach is trauma responsive and integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), nature-based therapy, mindfulness, and narrative practices with a focus on helping women with anxiety, depression, life transitions, and feelings of isolation.

Maxine has lived on the Sunshine Coast for 13 years and has developed extensive networks in this area from her work in the social and community services sector. She holds a Master of Counselling (Behavioural Health), a Master of Social Work and a Bachelor of Social Science (Psychology), with additional qualifications in nature-based therapy and trauma-responsive practice.
