After a great deal of thought, Maple Leaf Therapy has now closed to new clients as I step away from private clinical work.

Working with the people who came through this practice has been one of the most meaningful parts of my professional life. It has been a privilege to witness honesty, resilience, change, and hard work up close. Thank you to every client who allowed me to be part of their process, and to colleagues and supporters who trusted and recommended this practice over the years.

This is not a sudden decision but a considered transition into a new professional chapter. Maple Leaf Therapy will remain here online so that any future updates or projects can be shared in one place.

Thank you for being here.

February often feels heavy and uncertain, but therapy offers a place to reset and understand yourself again. Dispel those feelings of being broken, and gain the clarity of confidence.

You are not broken. You are not "too much." You are not failing.

Therapy is not about fixing you—it’s about helping you understand yourself, develop self-compassion, and build the skills you need to feel more in control of your life.

Therapy isn’t about someone “fixing” you. It’s a collaboration:

– You bring your story and effort.
– Your therapist brings expertise and guidance.
– Together you build skills and test them in real life.

It’s a proven, practical way to change patterns and feel more in control. No magic needed.

“When I first came to MLT, I wasn’t convinced therapy would actually help. I was fed up with feeling unhappy but had no idea why, which was frustrating. Turns out, I had nothing to worry about—Lauren is an incredible listener. She knows exactly what to ask and how far to push without making things uncomfortable.

She’s helped me untangle issues I didn’t even realise I had, and honestly, the difference in my happiness is massive—I feel like a completely new person. I’m more confident, positive, and full of energy, with a whole new excitement for life that I’ve never felt before. Like a lot of men, I expected therapy to be a bit waffly, but Lauren keeps things focused and approaches mental health in a really logical way. You can actually feel the difference after a session, especially when you’ve had a breakthrough.

I’d recommend it to anyone—no matter how small you think your problems are, getting them off your chest makes a world of difference.”

Anxiety shrinks when you gently test its predictions.

Try small, safe experiments: wait before checking your phone, drive a different way, speak up once, or go out without that “just-in-case” object.

Each time you prove anxiety wrong, your brain learns you’re safer than it thought.

Intrusive thoughts are normal. It’s how we respond that matters. Ignoring or suppressing them often backfires.

“I honestly can’t thank Lauren enough for all the help she’s given me over the last 16 months. I was really struggling with anxiety, but she helped me work through so many challenges in different parts of my life. Every session left me feeling lighter and more in control.

Would 100% recommend her to anyone, she’s brilliant!”
