Maddie Williams MBACP
Counselling & Psychotherapy
Newton Abbot, Devon & Online
Welcome
I am a qualified counsellor with a private practice in South Devon. I have a warm and empathetic approach and can help with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief and relationship difficulties.
​
My training is person-centred and integrative and I tailor sessions to the needs of the individual .
My approach
I have a person-centred approach, meaning that I am led by the needs of the client. I strongly believe that each client is the expert on themselves (even though it may not always feel like that), with each person having a unique perspective and wisdom arising from their own life experiences. Where clients are feeling lost, I can help uncover the wisdom of their inner authentic self, using an approach that draws from counselling theories including Gestalt, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Transactional Analysis.
Research has consistently shown that the most crucial factor determining the success of psychotherapy is the relationship of the client with their therapist. So, helping you to feel comfortable, heard and safe to express yourself is my primary concern.
My background in Healthcare and Health Science also means that I practice in a neuroscience-informed way, with awareness of the physiological effects of emotional distress in the brain and the body, and techniques for dealing with those effects.
I am passionate about supporting people who identify as neurodivergent (whether diagnosed or not). I aim to be mindful of all difference and diversity and to promote equality and inclusion in all areas of my work, whether that be in the fields of gender, sexuality, ideology, health or ability.
