Our Services
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy, also known as ‘talking therapy,’ is an invaluable tool for navigating a wide range of emotional challenges, including anxiety, stress, and trauma. It offers a safe space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, fostering personal growth and self-awareness. We collaborate with our clients to unravel past experiences and uncover hidden emotions, helping to bring the unconscious into the conscious. If you’re seeking to understand yourself better, overcome emotional obstacles, and heal from past wounds, psychotherapy could be the key to unlocking your true potential.
Trauma
Trauma can affect anyone, at any age, and its impact can linger long after the event itself. Whether through abuse, loss, or other painful experiences, trauma often presents itself in ways that can be difficult to overcome without support. This is where trauma counselling comes in. We specialise in helping individuals understand and move beyond their traumatic experiences, including a specific focus on Trauma Bonding.
Claire's expertise allows her to guide clients through a healing process, providing tools and strategies to break the cycle and regain control. If you're ready to heal, trauma counselling could be the support you need.
Couples Counselling
Feeling secure and happy in relationships is essential to our emotional well-being. When these relationships become strained and dysfunctional it can have a profound impact on our mental health. Couples therapy offers a supportive environment to explore these challenges and work towards healing. At Maple Counselling Services, we specialise in helping couples reconnect, both together and individually. If you're ready to rebuild and create a healthier, more fulfilling partnership, couples therapy can help you take that crucial first step.
“Claire is amazing at what she does. She has helped me in all areas of my life: marriage, family, work, and personal growth. She encourages the client to find out what the root of their issues are, and find options and different ways to address these so that the client is more empowered to deal with their arising issues independently in the future. She is the best therapist, has an effective and efficient approach and is a lovely, caring, empathetic person.”

Confidentiality: We value our clients' privacy and everything that is discussed is confidential and in accordance with the BACP Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy. However, if your therapist believes you have the potential to cause harm to yourself or another person, or if there's a legal requirement, then information may be disclosed. It is your therapist's responsibility to act accordingly and inform outside authorities when seen as necessary, like your GP or the police. Before this is done, your therapist will explain their reasons for making this decision and why it is necessary. In the case of an emergency, your therapist is not required to inform you about their decision with prior consultation and they may need to act immediately in order to protect the safety of yourself as well as others.
At Maple Counselling Services, we are committed to creating a safe, supportive, and comfortable environment for all our clients. We understand that seeking help is a significant step, and we are here to guide you through your journey with compassion and care.
