Maya Price
About the Therapist
I am passionate about creating warm, nurturing and safe spaces for people to talk openly whilst beginning to unpick the things that might be halting them from living their best, most authentic life!
My work is rooted in person-centred therapy. I utilise various other therapeutic techniques including life timelines, gestalt therapy, online sand tray work and inner child work. I am ultimately led by the client and what they need.Â
- I trained at Devon Counselling College and hold a level 4 diploma in therapeutic counselling.
- I am BACP registered and work in line with their code of ethics.
- I am the designated safeguarding lead for the LGBTQIA+ organisation Proud2Be.
- I co-founded a grassroots LGBTQIA+ support organisation proud2Be and have worked alongside LGBTQIA+ people for the past 12 years.
- I have worked with children and young people in a variety of roles over 20 years.
- In future, I plan to obtain a diploma in sexology and integrate 'Doll House Therapy' as part of my work.

I am a gentle, kind and quirky person with a good sense of humour! My sessions are relaxed, informal and full of warmth and acceptance.Â
- I work integratively and will work alongside you to find therapeutic approaches that best fit you.
- I particularly enjoy working creatively through online sand tray and inner child work. I am also beginning to renovate doll houses to use in future in-person therapy sessions.
- My main focus during a therapeutic intervention will be to listen to what you want and need whilst offering a supportive, affirming non-judgmental space.
- Please note that I am an LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapist. I believe that being LGBTQIA+ is natural and something to be celebrated and reclaimed. This will always be my approach.
- Alongside my twin sibling Max, I founded Devon-based LGBTQIA+ social enterprise Proud2Be in 2011 and together, we have led the organisation through a global pandemic, austerity and a cost of living crisis. I have over 12 years of experience working alongside queer people from all walks of life.Â
- I don't offer advice. I provide spaces for queer people to reach their own answers and let go of some of the things that might be stopping them from being free and living authentically.
- I am of the firm belief that YOU are the expert of your life and nobody knows you more than you! Although it may not feel like that right now, my aim will always be to remind you of that and my work reflects that belief.
- I am LGBTQIA+ and my lived experience does inform my work. However, what has worked for me, may not work for you which is why I offer individualised sessions based on what you need.
