Maddy Coates

With an MSc in Management Science, a BA (Hons) in Economics, a CPCAB Diploma in Relational Counselling and membership of the BACP, Maddy provides counselling for individuals and couples seeking meaningful change in their personal, relational or professional lives.

She works integratively, drawing on psychodynamic, systemic, transactional, behavioural and person-centred approaches. Together, you explore your story, understand recurring patterns, and uncover the early experiences that may be shaping your current relationships, reactions and decision-making. Her focus is on helping you develop conscious choice, emotional clarity and new ways of relating.

Many clients come to Maddy because similar issues keep appearing across different areas of life such as relationships, work, family, friendships or parenting. Through your work together, you can learn to recognise underlying beliefs and behaviours and create lasting, intentional change.

Maddy supports clients with challenges such as:

• Negative thinking and emotional reactivity
• Relationship communication difficulties
• Conflict resolution
• Parenting concerns
• Motivation, decision-making and life transitions
• Betrayal, affairs, addictions and trust injuries
• Separation, divorce and co-parenting support

Couples who feel they may have “left it too late” are supported with a safe, honest space to explore reconciliation or separation. She also helps individuals and couples navigate betrayal, and guide separating partners through emotional, practical and relational complexities to create the healthiest foundation possible, including effective co-parenting where relevant.

Maddy’s therapeutic approach is grounded in years of experience in organisational change, combined with training at Relate and work supporting counsellors at Childline through mentoring and live-contact guidance.

• Individuals – £70 (50 minutes)
• Couples – £90 (50 minutes)
• Betrayal/Separation Work: Individuals £100 | Couples £110
