Chichester Psychotherapy

Dr Maddie Saunders BSc (Hons), BMid (Hons), DCPsych

Counselling psychologist and psychotherapist (HCPC registered)

Welcome to my website. I live and work in the Whyke area of Chichester, and offer counselling psychology and psychotherapy either online or in-person. As a psychologist, I have specialist training to support you to understand and make sense of the difficulties you are facing. My aim as a therapist is to help you feel understood and to support you to know that you do not have to feel alone in what you are dealing with. I see my role as supporting you to extend curiosity towards your experiences, and when this exploration happens within a safe context and in the presence of someone seeking a genuine and authentic connection with you, change can begin to occur.

I have experience with many different difficulties including anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, relationship problems, bereavement, persistent feelings of guilt and shame, fear, loss and chronic pain. As an integrative therapist, I am trained to consider the person and their difficulty and apply my therapeutic knowledge in a bespoke way. Whilst I draw on modalities such as CBT, EMDR, person-centred counselling and psychodynamic psychotherapy, I do not believe in a ‘one size fits all’ approach, and will work with you to find a way of relating that feels right for who you are as an individual and the difficulties you are experiencing.
