Madelene Louw

I am an experienced Counselling Psychotherapist, with a background in both NHS and private practice, and I am a registered member of the BACP and ACC. I offer in-person therapy in London (SW14) and online sessions across the UK.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or unsure how to move forward? Do your thoughts feel difficult to switch off, or do you notice patterns in relationships or behaviour that no longer serve you? I want to listen to you and hear your story.

What happens during a session

I offer a thoughtful, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can begin to explore your experiences at your own pace. Sessions are 50 minutes long, and during our time together, we can develop a deeper understanding of what lies beneath your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and begin to make sense of the difficulties you are facing. I offer short-term (6-12 sessions) or long-term (open-ended) contracts.

How I work

I work integratively, drawing from a range of therapeutic approaches. This allows us to work in a way tailored to you, whether that involves exploring past experiences, understanding current patterns, or creating meaningful, lasting change.

Our time together will allow you the space and opportunity to share your experiences, thoughts, feelings and behaviours in a warm, non-judgemental, confidential and caring environment. We can also uncover possible reasons for your feelings, thoughts, and behaviours that have brought you to therapy.

My Interest

I have a particular interest in working with individuals navigating life transitions, abuse, trauma, loss, identity, and cultural or spiritual questions, especially where different aspects of a person’s experience may feel in tension.

My previous career in the private sector, along with my experience of living abroad, has given me a deep appreciation for the complexities of change, transition, and identity.

I am also trained as a Spiritual Director and welcome exploration of spirituality or religion where this is important to you.

Get in touch

If you feel this approach may be right for you, you are welcome to get in touch to arrange an initial consultation.

Our first session will be 30 minutes long, online and free of charge. During this session, we will complete a short assessment and discuss whether working together is an option.

From then on, our sessions will be 50 minutes each and charged.

Please contact me. This will enable us to set on a time and date which can be suitable for both of us. I offer sessions in person and online.
