Every individual is unique—and so is their path to healing and growth. Pam Madden offers a flexible, person-centred approach to counselling, drawing from a range of therapeutic techniques adapted to your needs, preferences and goals.
Whether you’re looking for practical strategies, emotional support or deeper exploration of life’s challenges, Pam integrates counselling, coaching, psychology and neuroscience to help you move forward. Her style is collaborative, respectful and focused on real-world results.
Below is an overview of the different approaches Pam may use in your sessions. These are not rigid frameworks but tools to support your journey—chosen in partnership with you based on what feels most helpful and effective.
A future-oriented approach that helps clients identify and achieve their desired outcomes by focusing on strengths and solutions rather than problems.
For example, if you're feeling stuck in your career, a solution-focused coach might ask, 'What would be different if things were better?' and guide you to actionable steps.
CBT helps you understand the link between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and teaches strategies to challenge and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
If you're experiencing social anxiety, CBT might help you identify beliefs like 'Everyone is judging me' and replace them with more realistic thoughts.
Uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help you access the subconscious mind and bring about positive change. Research shows that over 90% of our behaviours, thoughts and beliefs are driven by the subconscious. So while you may understand what to do such as eat healthier, you often fall back into old habits and behaviour because the subconscious beliefs and programmes underneath have not changed. Hypnotherapy requires your subconscious patterns, changing fears, blocks and limiting beliefs. Whatever the problem including confidence, money blocks, addiction and trauma, hypnotherapy works at the subconscious root making breakthroughs quicker and longer term. AI cannot replicate this transformation.
Someone trying to quit smoking might use hypnotherapy to associate smoking with unpleasant sensations and reinforce the desire to stay smoke-free.
A deeper, long-term approach to explore emotional difficulties, patterns from the past, and underlying causes of mental health issues.
If you struggle with low self-esteem rooted in childhood experiences, psychotherapy might help you understand and work through these past influences.
Incorporates insights from brain science to explain how emotions, habits, and behaviours are formed and how they can be changed.
Learning about the brain’s stress response can help someone with anxiety develop calming techniques to rewire their reactions.
Focuses on how language and thought patterns affect behaviour, and uses specific techniques to shift limiting beliefs.
An NLP technique might involve visualising a past failure as a movie and mentally changing its outcome to boost confidence in future situations.
Draws from evidence-based psychological methods to support mental health, behaviour change, and emotional regulation.
Using behavioural activation, a person dealing with depression might be encouraged to schedule enjoyable activities to improve mood.
Philosophical approaches explore meaning, values, and existential questions to support clients in understanding themselves and their place in the world.
A client questioning their purpose might explore concepts from existential philosophy to find meaning in their experiences and choices.
