Welcome to the Relationships and Life Skills website
I hope you enjoy your visit and that you find details about the Psychotherapy and Coaching Services of assistance in your decision making about whether to undergo counselling/therapy or coaching.
It is my aim to inspire and support you in your journey through life. Part of my service is to also provide information and articles on a variety of relevant topics covering personal, social & global issues, and commentaries. In particular there will be a focus on issues pertaining to good mental health practices.
On a professional and personal level I am committed to adult and community education and training. It is my pleasure to run regular Workshops and Seminars (a collaborative process) and to participate in guest speaker engagements throughout the year.
With the addition of a blog component to the website comes the knowledge that communication is a shared experience and I look forward to sharing thoughts and strategies with you, and in return learning from you.
Let’s get the important professional requirements out of the way.
“Different men seek after happiness in different ways and by different means, and so make for themselves different modes of life…” – Aristotle

Note from Madeleine
Apologies, I am currently not seeing clients or accepting referrals for in person or remote counselling/therapy. Contact your local GP or Mental Health Service Providers for contacts in your area.
In the mean time, may I suggest you check out the articles on the website. They offer helpful information and strategy on some of the more challenging aspects of relationships and lifeskills.
New articles will continue to appear on a regular basis.
Wishing you good health and safe keeping.
Many thanks, Madeleine.
