Max Voorhoeve: Accredited Mental Health Social Worker

My name is Max, and I am an accredited mental health social worker with extensive experience working in mental health.

Therapy

I work with adolescents (15+) and adults, with a strong interest in trauma therapy and perinatal mental health.

My work is centred around supporting people who have experienced trauma and complex trauma, with a focus on creating a safe and steady space to explore and process these experiences at a pace that feels right for each person. I also have a particular interest in perinatal and postnatal mental health, including depression, anxiety, and OCD during the perinatal period, as well as women’s mental health more broadly.

My areas of interest and experience include:

  • Perinatal and postnatal mental health
  • PTSD and complex trauma
  • Anxiety and anxiety disorders
  • Depression
  • Borderline personality disorder
  • Suicidality and self-harm
  • Childhood trauma and neglect
  • Stress management
  • Women’s mental health

I have undertaken extensive training in a range of evidence-based therapeutic modalities, including:

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
  • Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
  • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
  • Trauma-Focused ACT
  • Schema Therapy
  • Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)

My practice is trauma-informed, evidence-based, and integrative, with a strong client-centred and strengths-based approach. I aim to create a safe and supportive space where clients can explore their experiences, develop insight, and work collaboratively toward meaningful change. Whether you are seeking therapy for the first time or returning to support, I am committed to helping you build the tools and confidence to support your mental health and wellbeing.

Supervision

I offer supervision for social work students, new social work graduates, and experienced social workers, with a focus on reflective practice and building your mental health expertise while keeping in mind the AASW practice standards for social workers. I also provide supervision to social workers who are working towards their mental health accreditation through AASW and require regular supervision with an AASW mental health accredited supervisor. I specialize in trauma-informed care and have a particular passion for supporting individuals with complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and more.

In supervision, I aim to provide a safe space for reflection, professional growth, and skill development. Whether you’re navigating challenging cases or enhancing your practice, I’m here to support you in your journey.
