MADDISON PENSON

Accepting appointments from the 5th February, 2026

Maddy is a warm and compassionate provisional psychologist who works collaboratively with children, adolescents, and young adults. She takes an inclusive and person-centred approach, supporting clients to navigate challenges related to anxiety, neurodivergence (including ADHD and autism), self-esteem, and emotional regulation.

Please note that for all clients aged 17 and younger, a parent session is required as the initial appointment. This allows Maddy to obtain developmental history of the client and to understand the presenting concerns from a parent's perspective.

Teenage clients can attend the initial session but this will be split into two halves; first half parent and Maddy and second half client/client and parent with Maddy.
