Madeleine Hayman

I am currently accepting new clients.

Hi, I’m Madeleine. I am a cognitive behavioural psychotherapist. My work is client‑centred, meaning you set the pace while I provide a safe, supportive space for you to explore your mental health and well‑being. 

Whether you’re recovering from a painful breakup, coping with lifelong anxiety, or struggling with sudden, unexplained sadness, we’ll work together to build the tools you need to feel like you again.

My approach blends evidence‑based CBT with a holistic perspective. We adapt CBT techniques based on your thoughts, behaviours and feelings, to fit your identity and unique circumstances, ensuring the tools you learn stay with you long after we finish. 

I continually grow and refine my skills through reading, webinars and continuous professional development. I may draw on methods such as mindfulness, grounding, schema therapy and psychosexual/relational work if it is useful for you.

Before our first session, we’ll have a free 15‑minute chat on the phone or via Google Meet.

• We discuss what you’re looking for in therapy, I share a bit about my background, and I answer any questions you have about therapy. 

First session (50 minutes, online or in‑person):

• We spend most of the session having an open conversation about what’s happening for you right now, identifying your goals and expectations, and beginning to shape what future sessions might look like. 
• I do not take measurements or conduct assessments in the first session.

At the end of the session, I check in to see how you’re feeling in the moment, ensuring you feel supported throughout the entire experience.
