Hello, I’m Madeleine

As a person centered integrative therapist, I help to support individuals in exploring their emotions, achieve personal growth whilst empowering individuals with awareness with expert guidance and genuine care.

I am based in Walton on Thames in Surrey with my home therapy room but I am also happy to offer online sessions.

My Philosophy

As an integrative therapist, I use a combination of therapeutic approaches from various schools of thought to help address the needs of my client. Some of the key features that I use within my integrative therapy approach are as follows:

Personalised Approach:

As an integrative therapist I don’t follow one fixed method but adapt my approach to suit the individual. This may involve using different therapeutic tools and techniques from various schools of therapy, such as:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Psychodynamic Therapy
  • Humanistic Therapy
  • Gestalt Therapy
  • Person-Centered Therapy
  • Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques
  • Body-focused therapies (like somatic therapy)
  • Application of various art and play techniques

Holistic Treatment:

The goal is to treat the whole person, considering the mind, body, and emotions. I along with my client will look at how these areas interact and how past experiences, behaviours, and unconscious patterns may be influencing the current issues.

Client-Centered:

As an integrative therapist, I focus on building a strong, trusting relationship with my client encouraging them to express their thoughts and feelings openly, and guide them toward self-discovery and personal growth.

Flexibility:

Using multiple modalities, I tailor counselling sessions to what feels most helpful for my client.

How It Works

Each session is 50 minutes long and we would typically meet once a week. Sessions can be held in my private counselling room or online, but your needs and preferences can be agreed once we start working together.

My counselling service is for both adults and children who feel they need support across many different areas such as anxiety and stress, depression, trauma, relationship issues and exploration of personal growth. I also have experience working with children who are struggling with school and the pressures of the school experience.

I have a lot of experience within the school setting to also help parents navigate the education system and can provide parental support both emotionally and practically in this area.

All sessions are confidential, and we will sign a contract at the beginning of our work to set out in detail the terms of confidentiality. In some scenarios, I may be obliged to break confidentiality, and we will discuss this together if this situation occurs.
