Maddie is a registered psychologist with a Master of Psychology (Sport and Exercise), who is passionate about supporting individuals to grow, adapt, and thrive across all areas of life. She works from a strengths-based, person-centred approach, helping people build confidence, develop self-awareness, and strengthen their resilience in the face of challenges - whether in sport, school, work, or everyday life.
Maddie brings a warm, collaborative style to her work, creating a space where individuals feel supported to explore their values, navigate pressure, and move towards meaningful, values-aligned goals.
Maddie has a strong background in high-performance sport, with experience working within the AFLW system and supporting both women’s and men’s state-league athletes. This has given her a deep understanding of the demands of elite sporting environments, including managing pressure, performance expectations, confidence, setbacks, identity and the balance between performance and wellbeing.
Her work in sport, combined with many years supporting young people through basketball and youth services, allows her to effectively support both developing and high-performing individuals to perform at their best - while also prioritising their overall wellbeing.
Alongside her performance psychology work, Maddie also has an interest in supporting women through pregnancy, motherhood and the transition to parenthood. As a mum of two primary school-aged children herself, she brings a warm and grounded understanding of the many changes that can accompany motherhood, and enjoys supporting women as they navigate shifts in identity, relationships, expectations and priorities.
