Claire Maxwell

I currently have availability for both Face to Face sessions and online.

Hello. 

My name is Claire. I am an integrative therapist working face to face in Newport Pagnell, online and on the phone too. I offer individual and couples therapy. Please read on or visit my website: clairemaxwelltherapy.com for more information.

You may be wondering if ‘just talking’ about things can help. In my experience it really can. Feeling able to speak freely, at your own pace, in a warm, non-judgmental, safe environment- outside of family and friendship circles, can be useful and powerful. It offers the space to explore how we truly feel about ourselves, and our relationships, our experiences and patterns of behaviour. Sharing problems in this way can make us feel less alone and the awareness counselling brings can make change feel possible.

My clinical experience includes working with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and trauma amongst other difficulties including workplace stress and overwhelm.

I have worked for a charity specialising in sexual violence and have extensive experience of working with post 16s in secondary school settings.

Couples therapy offers a neutral, safe, nurturing environment that can facilitate communication between you. It enables you both to feel heard and to work towards a deeper understanding of yourselves and your relationship.

It may be that you are drawn to couples therapy to explore a past or present issue or perhaps you’d like to unpack problematic patterns that exist within your relationship. Couples therapy aims to use constructive, useful communication to allow us to work out the goals that you have for the relationship as well as the feelings and needs you both have going forward.

If you are interested in starting counselling with me, individual therapy sessions are fifty minutes, and the fee is £55. Couples therapy sessions are one hour long and are £85.

Please email me or visit my website to find out more, or to book a free introductory call. The Intro Call is an opportunity for you to ask any questions you might have and for me to tell you a little bit more about how I work. It will enable you to explore whether I am the right therapist for you and if we are a good fit.
