Madeley Therapy
Whatever brings you to therapy today, it is my firm belief that we all have the capacity to create meaningful change in pursuit of peace.
I offer an empathetic, non-judgemental, safe space where we can work together to explore what that could look like for you.
Abigail Madeley: Counselling Psychotherapist
MBACP, BICA member
Who I Am
I am an integrative therapist, blending psychodynamic, humanistic, Transactional Analysis (TA) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I have a particular interest in working with people who are feeling generally stuck in their lives. It might be that those feelings have no known cause. Together we can become detectives for the wound, to bring about understanding, self compassion and new choices.
I also work with people to navigate their journeys into or away from parenthood and I am a registered member of the British Infertility Counselling Association (BICA).
Prior to becoming a therapist I worked as a documentary director for domestic and international television networks. My work won BAFTA and Emmy nominations and I bring the lived experience of delivering to high pressure clients into my therapeutic practice.
Alongside my private practice I work for a major television corporation, helping people to navigate their creative careers. I bring this knowledge into the therapeutic space.
How I Can Help
I work on the basis that we all make subconscious decisions in relation to our earliest experiences. Over time, patterns of thinking and behaviour emerge that we don’t necessarily have awareness of or control over. Without bringing them into focus, these patterns can lead to anxiety, depression, poor self-esteem, problems in our relationships and a feeling that we don’t really know ourselves. I can help you identify these deeply rooted behaviours to help you regain a sense of agency and conscious decision making.
Testimonials
"I worked with Abi to improve my anxiety which was crippling and impacting my wellbeing, work and relationships. Abi helped me explore the source of my anxiety and identify failed coping mechanisms and worked with me to develop new ways of thinking as well as strategies to deal with my stress triggers. I can honestly say that I do not suffer from anxiety anymore and I have learned so much about myself which has helped me address even more areas of my life for the better. Though I am no longer working with Abi, I still find myself using the techniques she taught me and I can see the positive shifts in my mindset and even life approach. Abi is both patient and insightful. She has helped me so much and I highly recommend her." - Client review, 2026
