Maya Price
About the Therapist
Hello, my name is Maya (she/her), an integrative queer therapist and GRSD specialist. I accept enquiries from LGBTQIA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, questioning, intersex and/or asexual+) young people (13+) and adults.
My sessions are conducted online through platforms such as Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet.
I offer a complimentary initial 30-minute phone call or online video meeting, providing an opportunity for you to ask any questions, and determine if my services align with your needs.
I am dedicated to fostering warm, nurturing, and safe environments that encourage open dialogue, allowing individuals to address and unpack the challenges that may be preventing them from leading their most authentic lives. Currently, I offer my services exclusively through online platforms and via the phone.
My practice is grounded in person-centered therapy, utilizing a diverse array of therapeutic techniques such as life timelines, gestalt therapy, online sand tray work, and inner child work. My approach is fundamentally guided by the unique needs of my clients.
I received my training at Devon Counselling College, where I earned a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to their code of ethics.
Additionally, I serve as the designated safeguarding lead for the LGBTQIA+ organization, Proud2Be, which I co-founded in 2011. Our organization has grown to employ a dedicated team that supports LGBTQIA+ young people and adults in rural Devon.
With over 20 years of experience working with children and young people in various roles, I also bring 15 years of experience working directly with neurodivergent individuals across different settings.

My therapeutic approach is integrative, and I will collaborate with you to identify strategies that best support your journey. I have a particular interest in inner child work, Transactional Analysis (TA), and Gestalt therapy. My primary focus is to listen to your desires and needs while creating a supportive, affirming, and non-judgmental environment.
As an LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapist, I believe that being LGBTQIA+ is a natural aspect of human experience and should be celebrated. This perspective is foundational to my practice.
In partnership with my twin sibling Max, I co-founded Proud2Be, a Devon-based LGBTQIA+ social enterprise, in 2011. Together, we have navigated challenges such as a global pandemic, economic austerity, and the current cost-of-living crisis. I bring over 12 years of experience working with individuals from diverse queer backgrounds.
Rather than offering advice, my aim is to provide a space for clients to discover their own solutions and release barriers that may impede their well-being.Â
As a trans woman, my lived experiences contribute to my professional insights; however, I recognize that what works for one person may not work for another, which is why I tailor my sessions to your unique needs.
I pride myself on being gentle, kind, and approachable, with a good sense of humour. My sessions are designed to be relaxed, informal, and filled with warmth and acceptance.
PLEASE NOTE that although I have been closed for new enquiries for a few months now, my schedule is changing and I will be available to take on some more clients at the end of September 2025. Please get in touch to book your free introductory session.
