Dr Maddie Brygel

I am a registered psychologist with a doctorate in clinical and forensic psychology. 
 
I came to psychology because I believe that each mind is like an entire world. I think that taking the time to more deeply explore the inner worlds of ourselves and others can bring life-long benefits. 
 
I have worked across various settings, including public hospitals, addiction rehabs and palliative care. I frequently work with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, grief, addiction and eating disorders, and have had several publications on women’s mental health and family violence. 
 
I would describe my approach to therapy as collaborative, warm and direct. Regardless of what you come to therapy with, my aim is to support you in getting to a greater place of peace within your mind, help you to see your patterns and blind spots and provide guidance using evidence-based frameworks.
