Meet Madeleine

Therapist, Researcher, Educator

About

Who is Madeleine?

I provide a holistic approach to mental health through personalised therapy that highlights the mind-body connection and identity. In my spare time I enjoy reading about fantasy worlds, re-watching TV shows, and experimenting with new recipes. I am also a fan of yoga and the gym when it’s not crowded.

What is Madeleine’s approach?

My main goal is to help explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe space that values open communication. I value the use of humour (when appropriate) as a form of self-expression and relief, knowing when is the right time is key but it is a part of who I am as a practitioner. I am currently working to ensure a trauma-informed practice that acknowledges the varied impacts of traumatic experiences.

My main practice is based in cognitive and behavioural therapy, I also use mindfulness and have an interest in somatic exercises (body-awareness) which has been useful for many clients. I have a particular interest in intimacy after trauma, sexuality, and core emotional needs.

I also value nature and the outdoors, and I believe that it can help in the mending process.

What is Madeleine’s practice focus?

Essentially, I can work with a range of topics. As a CBT therapist, that includes working with treatment plans to help people manage anxiety and depression. I am passionate about helping people navigate gaining confidence in life, work, relationships, and their bodies.

My client-centred approach accommodates acceptance and cultural competency across gender, sexual, and relationship diversity (GSRD). This means I welcome all from the LGBTQ+ community. I also recognize societal oppression and ongoing its effects on the individuals who might seek therapy.

I am big believer of dealing with things that trouble us before they get bad, therefore I work with difficulties no matter how small. It is all important. I’m here to support you. Finding the right therapist is essential—if we’re not a good fit, that’s okay.
