Dr Madeleine Mansfield
Hello, I'm Madeleine.
I offer a safe, steady space to talk about what’s hard, at your pace and without judgement. I'm here for the messy bits of being human.
My approach is integrative and humanistic: we pay close attention to what you’re feeling in the moment, and we use practical tools when they’re helpful.
No two people are the same, so we’ll shape the work together through noticing patterns, building on your strengths, and finding kinder ways forward.
People come to me with anxiety, low mood, trauma, loss or a sense of being stuck. You don’t need the right words or a perfect story; we can start exactly where you are.
All backgrounds and identities are welcome. If you have access needs or preferences, let me know and we’ll adapt the space and pace together.
My areas of expertise include:
- Anxiety and mood difficulties – anxiety, panic attacks, low mood, depression
- Trauma – abuse histories, complex trauma and C-PTSD
- Self-doubt and performance – imposter syndrome, low confidence, self-esteem
- Grief and loss – bereavement, endings, life transitions
- Relationships and attachment – dating, partnership challenges, family conflict
- Stress and burnout – lack of direction or purpose; workplace pressure
- Personality-related difficulties – support for traits or a diagnosis linked to personality disorders
I'm ready when you are. You do not need perfect words. We can begin with a simple conversation.
