Booked in for CBT to tackle my anxiety and left with practical tools I could use straight away. Dr Maddock explained things clearly and made me feel supported from the first session in Charlestown.
Accidentally stumbled upon Dr Maddock after a rough week. The stress management techniques she shared are gold, and I’ve noticed a real shift in how I handle pressure at work in Newcastle.
Really grateful for the thoughtful, non-judgmental approach. We did a few couples sessions and I felt heard, with practical exercises to try at home around Charlestown.

Went for individual therapy and appreciated the calm, structured sessions. It’s rare to find someone who can explain complex ideas in plain language—made a real difference.
We did a few family and one couple session to navigate some tensions. The techniques we learned have helped us reconnect and communicate better, right here in Charlestown.
Dr Maddock is warm and professional. The CBT approach felt practical and achievable, and I left each session with clear steps to practice during the week.
