… this is what people have said about my work…

When I first met Maggie, I was amazed at how this lovely lady showered me with love and concern. My problems were always treated with respect and importance.  Maggie would listen with her heart, and ensure she understood exactly what I was saying/feeling.  Then she would quickly identify what was wrong, and come up with one or more ways to resolve my issues.  I felt it was almost magical the way Maggie could zero right in on problems and solutions.  She treats people with the respect and dignity they deserve and honours the emotion: she can share the tears or have you laughing with abandon. I am sorry to have moved away from the help this beautiful lady provides, but I can sit and think about what “Maggie would say”, and get through any bad times that way.  I would urge anyone who is having problems to give Maggie a call – you’ll wish you’d met her sooner!                       –With respect, SF

 

Maggie is an amazing counsellor, from the moment I was invited into her office I felt safety and peace. She has made an environment that invites easy conversation and I at no time felt judged or unwilling to share what I needed. I feel very at peace with my struggles and fears. Before our last session together I was tested by an evening of triggers from my past, instead of running I was able to stand tall and firmly hold my ground.

Maggie’s methods worked the world for me and has made a huge difference in my life and with friends I have shared them with.

Thank you Maggie for the strength you helped me find in myself!  -EM

 

“Since I have seen Maggie, I’m not as worried or nervous, my anxiety has stopped and I feel confident again. Some things that make Maggie so special are that she really communicates to you, does activities with you and she really understands you. In the end, my experience with Maggie was a very good one. I would definitely recommend seeing Maggie. You won’t be disappointed.   -IB  age 12

 

Maggie’s respectful child-centre approach was just what my daughter needed. Maggie focused on my daughter’s needs and perspectives and balanced it with mine as a parent wanting the best for her child. She would have individual sessions with my daughter and bring me in at the end of sessions to share, with my daughter’s permission, activities engaged in, what she learned about herself and wanted to practice at home or school or with her friends. I appreciated being included in the counselling process so I could support my daughter. I highly recommend Maggie for your child or teenager and yourself. -KB

 

Many years ago I heard from a friend who’s teenage daughter was having a difficult time with cutting herself that she had found a wonderful councillor named Maggie Reidy that was really helping not only her daughter but my friend also. My own teenage daughter was having trouble socially at school so I called Maggie and made an appointment for her.  In time I started seeing Maggie also about how to support my daughter and also to deal with childhood issues of my own.  Maggie also saw my older daughter and helped her handle letting go of a relationship she was having issues with.  Over the years I have seen Maggie many times and she has helped myself and my family tremendously with big issues and little issues and life in general.  She makes things so clear for me and I often think “my God, why didn’t I see that!?” and that is why I love Maggie, she brings light into your life in MANY different ways.  Whether it is teaching me the tools to cope, understand life and it’s challenges or just parting the clouds to let the sunshine again she has always made things better for me.  She has a gift, and I feel blessed that she is in my family’s life.  -TA

 

I was feeling nervous, worried and sick before I had counselling with Maggie. Maggie, who is very friendly and accepting, helped me feel happy, confident and healthy by helping me express my feelings by drawing, painting and talking. Thank you, Maggie!   -CA  age 12

 

Maggie is a warm and caring person. Her loving approach to her work is remarkable and the results show it. She’s the best!  -JT.

 

Maggie Reidy is amazing.  From the moment we stepped into her space I felt we had found the right person to help us.  I know she not only helped our daughter but she helped our whole family!  I really appreciated how she worked with us as a team.  She gave us all tools we could use as a family.  She increased our ability to communicate with open heart and clearer language.  – S.S

 

I would recommend Maggie to others, she definitely helped me go through all the stuff I needed help with.  She was just really nice to talk to.  She would give advice and let me talk.  She was different from other helpers.  It felt like it was more relaxed. -A.S. Age 9
