About Madeleine
I am passionate about supporting couples through tough times towards a brighter but realistic future. Couples often start out feeling full of love and desire, then find themselves questioning where the 'spark' has gone. My job is to help you restore closeness and remember the strengths that first brought you together, helping you understand that it is often small changes that lift and lighten a partnership.
In our sessions, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where I listen attentively to you both. I won’t make decisions for you or apportion blame; instead, I view relationship therapy as a shared voyage of exploration. We will work together to make sense of the thorny patches you’re experiencing, helping you understand each other’s viewpoints while introducing tools to communicate with honesty and kindness.
I also specialise in helping couples navigate the emotional and relational aspects of intimacy. Many people feel awkward talking about sex, but I offer a confidential environment to explore issues such as a drop in desire, reconnecting after children or menopause, and differences in sexual initiation. While I don't offer formal sex therapy for physical dysfunctions, I am here to help you address the 'sex in your head' and the emotional connection that fuels desire.

Background & Experience
I am a 'Relate' qualified couple's counsellor with over 30 years of experience in the field.

This broader perspective enables me to see the 'bigger picture' of the family dynamics you are part of, which is often essential when addressing the stresses that impact a primary partnership.
