Relationship Counselling
Madeleine supports couples to re-connect and re-ignite their relationship, feeling that 'spark' once again. She offers a space where any issues or concerns are able to be worked through, and supports couples to do so without blame or judgement.
Madeleine understandings that it can be difficult to take the initial step to see a relationship counsellor. A lot of people feel a sense of shame or embarrassment, like they should be able to work it out by themselves. Others have all but given up hope of reconnecting with their partner, feeling trapped in a momentum of distrust, disrespect or lies. And some worry that the counsellor will take sides and blame them for the state of the relationship.
Madeleine works in a way that dispels these feelings, offering a space completely free of judgement where each person feels both heard and respected.

What should we expect in our first counselling session?
After booking in to your first counselling session, you will each be sent an online relationship assessment questionnaire and a client history form to complete before the initial session.
During your first session, you can expect to share the history and joys of your relationship, as well as describing the current issues or challenges you are experiencing.
In the weeks following the initial session, Madeleine likes to have an individual session with each person in order to support her to gain a deeper understanding of the strengths and challenges in the relationship.
Following this, we come back together to solidify your therapy goals moving forward.
