Kelly Madden

I currently have availability on weekdays and some evenings. I offer 1:1 50 minute weekly therapy sessions in-person and online for both short-term or open ended therapy.

I understand from personal experience how overwhelming and daunting the initial steps towards reaching out for therapy and choosing a therapist can feel. You may not even be sure what has brought you to this point or what you are seeking.

Whilst working for a number of years in an NHS mental health setting I identified with the patients' that I encountered. Many of whom felt lost, lonely, isolated and unseen, particularly during and since the pandemic.

With my natural curiosity about people I wanted to allow patients' a space to talk and be heard which unfortunately was not always possible within the scope of my job role. I therefore decided to train as a therapist so I had the professional training and tools to offer clients this space to seek a way forward. 

Feel free to contact me to discuss further.

I have a masters in therapeutic counselling.

My main focus is on the therapeutic relationship playing out between myself and the client. I work as an integrative therapist combining different therapeutic approaches depending on the situation.  

I offer clients an opportunity to speak and disclose at their own pace with my aim to allow them to feel seen and heard. Together we look at patterns and strategies that clients have developed and how these may have formed.

Please contact me via email including some information about your reason for seeking counselling, I will then respond to arrange an introductory session.

The first session is an opportunity for us to discuss what has brought you to counselling at this time in further detail. We can meet and mutually decide if we want to continue to work together. Should you decide to proceed we will agree a therapy contract for subsequent sessions.
