Maya Okafor
Integrative psychotherapist, founder · at Stillroom since
2016
“Nobody arrives knowing what to say. We start wherever you are, and I’ll do the steering.”
Maya trained as a nurse before moving into psychotherapy, then spent twelve years in NHS and university counselling services. She opened Stillroom in 2016 because she wanted a place that felt more like a home than a waiting room.
She sees a lot of people who have coped well for so long that nobody, including them, noticed they weren’t fine.
