Services
Further down this page, there are links to my three main services: Counselling, LGBTQ+ Training and Wellbeing workshop services. First, though, here’s some information about how I work and who I work with, plus some client feedback.
Counsellor, trainer and group facilitator
I have supported people for 30 years in the areas of domestic abuse, young people’s issues, living with HIV, sexual orientation, sexuality and gender identity (LGBTQ+).
-
I founded It’s All About You Wellbeing in 2008 (which ran until December 2024 when the CIC closed voluntarily).
-
I am a counsellor for individuals and couples. I am a Advanced Accredited Gender, Sex and Relationship Diversities Therapist accredited by Pink Therapy).
-
I am qualified to teach adults and am an experienced trainer and group facilitator.
-
I'm based in Norwich but I also travel to other places in the UK. I work online too and I now see clients all over the world.
-
I am self-employed as Max Cohen Wellbeing Services and incorporate all these parts into my business.
Who I work with
I work with young people (18+) and adults on all issues including LGBTQ+ issues, questioning gender identity (trans+, genderqueer, non-binary) and sexual orientation, sexuality, relationships, living with HIV, recovering from domestic abuse, victims of crime and work-related problems such as discrimination.
For example, I welcome enquiries from:

people seeking counselling for the first time or those continuing their personal development

family members or carers whose loved ones are struggling with challenges
-
organisations arranging training, consultations or wellbeing workshops
Client feedback
Clients who have had sessions with me have said that I’m a good listener, I created a place in which they felt safe and could explore their feelings and thoughts, that I gave them information that explained the models and techniques we used, and that I gave useful information, for example online support, support groups, exercises or actions they could take away with them to use at home.
Client ratings
I was so pleased to receive 5-star ratings from 8 different clients on the Plumm workplace platform in 2024.
Please do get in touch to discuss your needs (for example, an accessible room, easy access for neurodivergent people, BSL interpreters), whether you’re looking for individual or couples counselling, to put on an LGBTQ+ awareness session for a group of professionals or a group of clients.
