Hello, I’m Maddie!

As your therapist, I bring warmth, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to creating a safe space where you can share your thoughts and feelings without fear of surprise or judgement. I highly value the importance of having moments connecting through laughter and authenticity, recognising the healing power of humour and a relaxed atmosphere. Your experiences and emotions are welcomed and valued, and my goal is to provide a secure and empathetic environment for our work together.

I draw from a range of evidence-based therapies, tailoring our sessions to meet your unique needs and goals while appreciating that this will look different for everyone. Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, depression, trauma, or life's challenges, I am here to walk with you through the process of self-discovery and healing. 

In our sessions, you can expect a collaborative and compassionate partnership. Together, we will explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, aiming to foster self-awareness and empower you to make positive changes in your life. You are the expert of your own journey, and I am here to support and guide you along the way. I often draw on Schema Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to inform my practice.

I am deeply passionate about working alongside fellow members of the LGBTIQA+ community and offering guidance through the complex landscape of gender, sexuality, identity, family dynamics, and relationships. I am committed to providing an inclusive and affirming space for your unique journey.

I consider it a true honour to walk alongside you on your therapeutic journey, welcoming all the parts of you that may have gone unexplored. I deeply respect and admire the bravery it takes to embark on the path of counselling, and I look forward to the opportunity to work with you here at Paisley Place Therapy.

FAQs

  • I work with individuals 14 years and older.

  • The number of sessions we’ll need really depends on your unique situation—your concerns, availability, and what feels manageable for you. I usually suggest starting with at least 8 sessions to give us a solid foundation. If we’re exploring deeper, long-standing patterns or past experiences, more time together might be helpful.

    Ultimately, the longer you stay in therapy, the more opportunity there is for meaningful growth. We’ll talk through all of this in detail during our first appointment to find the best fit for you.

  • Sessions go for 50 minutes. If you require a longer consult, please let me know and I can advise of appropriate fees.

  • I completely understand that life can be unpredictable, and sometimes you may need to reschedule or cancel an appointment.

    If you need to cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice before your appointment time, a cancellation fee equal to the full session rate may apply.

    This policy helps me keep things fair for everyone, including other clients who might have wanted that time slot. Thank you so much for your understanding and respect for this.

  • Yes, I can offer telehealth appointments. Please let me know if you would like to discuss telehealth options for your sessions.

  • Yes, I am able to provide Medicare rebates as an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker through the Better Access Scheme for clients who have a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) from their GP. The Medicare rebate for sessions with MHSWs is $87.25.

    If you need help navigating this process or obtaining a referral, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’m here to support you.
