About Madeline
Madeline Trump is an AASW social worker with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety and supports those facing relationship strains, parenting challenges and life transitions. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth, and she aims to make conversations easy to follow for worried parents and busy adults.
Madeline believes people know their story best and brings a respectful, non-judgemental style to each session.
Background and approach
She explains things clearly so clients can build useful insight into thoughts, feelings and behaviour. That practical focus helps people take small steps that add up to real change. Her work draws on Client-Centred Therapy to hold the client’s perspective at the centre.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Mindfulness techniques are woven in to help with anxiety, panic and stress management. Madeline has worked across government, independent practice and online settings in Australia and New Zealand.
She is comfortable with straightforward, friendly conversation and with guiding parents through perinatal and parenting concerns. She aims to make each session feel manageable and focused on the issues that matter most to the client. Clients who choose Madeline can expect clear explanations, practical tools and a calm, encouraging presence.
She supports people to build confidence, improve communication and cope better with life changes and everyday pressures.
Approach and online care that fits into life
Madeline commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep the conversation focused on the client's perspective. This approach prioritises listening, acceptance and the client’s goals so people feel heard and can lead the pace of change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Madeline will collaborate with each person to decide which tools help most, tailoring techniques to their goals, preferences and day-to-day demands. That collaborative decision-making helps ensure sessions feel relevant and achievable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and visual connection, phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited, and messaging can suit brief check-ins or people juggling busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy into family life, work breaks or times when leaving home is difficult, while still allowing for consistent progress.
