Maddison is a registered Counsellor with PACFA - the leading peak body for psychotherapists in Australia.  

Maddison helps clients to navigate self esteem issues, trauma, depression, stress, co-parenting and break ups, anxiety, relational issues and emotional processing. Maddison offers a warm, safe place for exploration to help with uncertainty, challenging emotions and experiences that issues can elevate. Maddison helps clients achieve their goals and come home to themselves by offering a gentle, grounded therapeutic space for exploration. Maddison helps clients process and move through what they need to with a trauma informed approach.
 
 
Maddison works in a none-pathological way, focusing on each clients individual needs, while recognising that many emotional patterns are adaptive responses shaped by past experiences or traumas. Maddison's therapy space is person-centred, not cold or clinical in nature. Maddison incorporates spiritual healing methods into practice when appropriate recognising that body, mind and soul are deeply connected.  

 

Therapy is a sacred space for you to grow and evolve, and it would be a privilege to support you on whatever journey you are on. Together we work to break unhelpful patterns, rewire unhelpful beliefs and develop the ability to create positive change so that a joyful life can be experienced. 

 

As a trauma informed Counsellor, Maddison understands the impact of trauma on the clients nervous system, physiology, relationships, health and processing, as well as how to guide clients to gentle healing.  Especially in the presence of nervous system dysregulation, addiction and other issues that arise from trauma. 

 

Maddison has an eclectic perspective towards healing and combines some models including (but not limited to) person-centered, CBT, emotion focused therapy, behavioural, solution focused, schema therapy, narrative therapy, attachment theory, IFS, and mindfulness-based practices.  

 

Maddison is passionate about the natural body wisdom of emotions and emotional work.  Maddison is informed on Aware Parenting and incorporates techniques and methods into supporting clients who are raising children with behavioural or emotional concerns.  This including helping clients to create secure attachment with their child.  Aware parenting is beneficial for parents who want help fostering deeper connection with their child, want help assisting with problems such as hitting, sleeping and healing from stress or trauma. 

 

Prior to Counselling Maddison worked with children affected by trauma and severe relational issues for 6 years in Youth Work.
