About Madeline's Professional Development Work

The professional development and support services that I offer have grown out of my 18 years experience in counseling, facilitating, and teaching. This work is based on a belief in the holistic nature of people and life. It is client-centered and honours the unique mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of each client.

Inherently my philosophy focuses on wellness rather than pathology. It encourages the practitioner to seek out the strengths that exist in the client and to bring these strengths to other areas of the self that are weak or undeveloped. Individual assessment is used to determine which interventions will be most effective and appropriate.

A relational approach is stressed including the importance of developing a healthy relationship with self and others. This approach uses the therapeutic relationship to draw out issues and historic patterns that have contributed to difficulties in engaging in life in a deeply satisfying way. The work includes a significant focus on ego development while also holding awareness of the transpersonal dimensions. Its goal is to enable each client, through awareness and growth, to come to embody their fullest potential.

My approach stresses the importance of ongoing personal and professional development for therapists. The adage is true: a client can only go as far as the therapist has gone and is prepared to go himself or herself. Since 2001 I have offered professional development services to individual therapists. This work has increased their skill level, fostered an attitude of self-awareness and self-assessment, and encouraged creativity in their therapeutic work.
