About me
Turning Page Counselling
Hello there, I’m Maddison a qualified pluralistic integrative counsellor, with a personal and professional understanding of and special interest in Neurodivergence. I have lived experience of neurodivergence, being late diagnosed as Autistic and having ADHD at 23, and am a strong supporter of the Neurodiversity paradigm.
I also have a personal understanding of living with chronic illness, having also been diagnosed with a rare autoimmune condition at 23.
I offer a warm, empathic, non-judgemental and flexible approach to working with clients, providing you with a supportive and safe space to explore, process and work through your unique challenges.
Working pluralistically means that I value each client as individual, the expert of themselves, and as an individual, each client will have different needs at different times during counselling. As such, the therapeutic process involves flexible collaboration, with us working together, and tailoring my approach to each session, to ensure that you are able to achieve what you want from our sessions. You may need a space to be heard and understood, or to process trauma, or come to terms with difficult changes or losses in your life, or to understand and learn how to deal with difficult emotions, or to explore and challenge negative thinking that can hold you back from being the person you want to be - whatever you may want or need from our sessions, we can work together to achieve this, and find a way for you to turn the page over and live the life you want to live, as the person you would like to be.
I understand that at times during our life, we can feel stuck, unhappy with the way things are or the way that we view ourselves, and how difficult it can be to change, often not knowing where to start. Through counselling, I aim to encourage you to accept change as an inevitable part of life, and empower you to take the steps that you may need to take to see the changes you desire, by allowing space for us to reflect on what those steps may be, and supporting you to recognise and embrace your strengths and potential. I want to always help you to help yourself turn the page over, continue afresh, and live the life you want to live as the person you want to be.
I offer counselling online, over the telephone or via email. I also offer a free 15 minute telephone consultation to allow us the chance to see if we’re the right fit for each other. Please feel free to get in touch via telephone, email or my website - turningpagecounselling.com - I look forward to hearing from you :)

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
