About me
Hello. I'm Claire. I am an integrative therapist working face to face in Newport Pagnell. I also work on online and on the phone too. Please visit my website clairemaxwelltherapy.com or read on for more info about me and how I work.
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.
Individual Therapy sessions are 50 minutes long and are £55.
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.
In Couples Counselling, the sessions are 1 hour and are £80.
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 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.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
