Melbourne Psychologists / Our Team / Madeleine James
Madeleine James
PSYCHOLOGIST
Madeleine is a registered Psychologist and Clinical Psychology Registrar who brings a warm, thoughtful and evidence-based approach to therapy.
She has experience working with adults across a diverse range of mental health presentations and has developed her clinical experience across inpatient, community, school and other multidisciplinary settings. This breadth of experience has given Madeleine an appreciation for the many different factors that can shape a person’s emotional wellbeing, relationships and capacity to navigate difficult periods in their life.
Madeleine places importance on developing a strong therapeutic relationship and creating a space where clients feel comfortable, understood and supported.
Her approach is trauma-informed and recovery-focused, recognising that meaningful psychological care involves understanding each person within the broader context of their experiences, strengths and individual circumstances. Madeleine draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and works collaboratively with clients to develop an approach responsive to their individual needs and therapeutic goals.
Madeleine holds a Master of Clinical Psychology from the Institute of Social Neuroscience, a Bachelor of Psychological Science (Honours) from Bond University, and a Bachelor of Science majoring in Neuroscience from the University of Melbourne.
