We can often face challenges in our lives that we cannot seem to overcome on our own, or with the help of friends or family. These challenges often include situations, feelings, thoughts, or behaviours that are upsetting and disrupt our day-to-day living, and our relationships with others. Madeleine provides a safe place to explore and work through these challenges.

Madeleine also explores new ways of thinking, and feeling, to bring about positive growth, and to feel heard, supported, and understood.
