Maddie Chorlton

I have availability in my practice. My working hours are:

Monday: midday - 3pm

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday: 10am - 3pm 

Please get in touch regarding dates and times.

Hello, I’m Maddie, an experienced counsellor based in the centre of Bath.

Perhaps you're considering therapy because you're battling with anxiety, struggling to get past a difficult experience, finding relationships in your life challenging or simply feeling that something isn't right and that you need change. Whatever your experience might be, I offer a warm and supportive space for you to explore what's brought you to counselling.

Often these feelings can lead to you feeling stuck and lost, not knowing what you need for yourself. Counselling can make a significant impact to you and your life, providing you with the space and time to better understand yourself. I’m here to walk alongside you as you do, uncovering how your past might still be impacting you, noticing when feelings are most active, which relationships are the most challenging and exploring the patterns that may be holding you back from making the change you need.

My approach

It can be hard to explain how you're feeling to other people without a fear of being misunderstood or feeling like a burden. I can help you make sense of your thoughts and feelings without judgement, with empathy and understanding.

I’m a humanistic integrative counsellor, which means I see you as the expert on your own life. My role is to help you access that inner understanding, offering guidance, challenge and insight along the way.

Being integrative means I draw on a range of counselling theories to tailor the work to you. There’s no one-size-fits-all in therapy; together, we’ll find an approach that fits your needs, goals, and pace.

What working together looks like

The relationship between us is central to our work, allowing you to feel safe and secure to share difficult feelings which you might not yet fully understand.

In weekly sessions we might explore:

- how your past is shaping your present

- patterns in your behaviour and relationships

- your sense of self

- your feelings, even those that you keep hidden from others

How I work

We’ll meet weekly for 50-minute sessions, working at a pace that feels right for you.

I place a strong emphasis on building a genuine, trusting relationship. I’ll offer empathy, careful listening, and a non-judgemental space where you can speak openly and honestly without the fear of being misunderstood or dismissed. Feeling safe, seen and supported is the foundation for meaningful change.

Whatever brings you to therapy, we’ll explore it together. Our work can help you make sense of your experiences, connect more deeply with your feelings and move towards the life you want.

In-person and online sessions

I offer face-to-face sessions from a warm, welcoming room in the centre of Bath. I also have a limited number of online sessions available for clients who prefer to work remotely.

Following an initial free phone consultation, our first session will see us meet at my room in the centre of Bath. As with all of our sessions, we will meet for 50 minutes.

Unlike our other sessions which will be led by you, this session will involve an initial assessment so that I can better understand what you are experiencing and your goals for therapy.

You may still be curious about what therapy will look like, and so this first session gives you an opportunity to bring any questions you still have about the process and about how we will work together. 

I have availability in my practice. My working hours are:

Monday: midday - 3pm
