About me…

Hi, I am Madeleine and I am a fully qualified Psychosynthesis counsellor. I imagine you have reached my website because you perhaps have come to a point, where you are seeking some form of guidance and support. You may be feeling stuck, lonely, anxious or depressed and I know for myself, how scary and lonely these places can sometimes feel. It can be hard and can sometimes take immense courage to reach out to someone to get the support you need and deserve. Perhaps in reading a little bit about myself and what I offer, can help you get a clearer picture whether therapy with me may be the right step forward for you.

Being born as 1st generation Filipino in Vienna/ Austria, I understand what it means to perhaps feel confused about your sense of identity and belonging. Through different influences, my life has led me to working for large corporates for over 10 years and therefore can especially relate to the pressures of fast paced environments and the anxieties that our professional and personal lives can sometimes bring. Especially in today’s world, it can sometimes be hard to find a sense of purpose and feel like we are somewhat in control in a world that is often full of uncertainties.

Through my own therapy and allowing myself to work through my own inner conflicts and yearnings, I gradually retrained as a counsellor and today I run my private practise and am also working at the Counselling Service at the Psychosynthesis Trust on a part-time basis. I also worked as a counsellor in the NHS and supported people in a short-term therapy setting there.

Qualifications…

I am a fully qualified Psychosynthesis counsellor, who graduated with a postgraduate diploma at the Psychosynthesis Trust .
