Madison Smee, AASW

Madison Smee is a licensed counsellor based in Queensland with over three years of experience supporting people through some of life’s most difficult moments. She has worked with survivors of sexual and domestic violence, individuals in crisis, and those navigating trauma, post-traumatic stress, addictions, LGBTQ+ related experiences, and significant life transitions. Her practice also extends to a broad range of other mental health concerns, including compassion fatigue, attachment difficulties, relationship and communication challenges, and issues related to sex and intimacy.

Madison draws on a holistic, person-centred approach that honours the connections between mind, body, and spirit. She works from the premise that each person is the expert in their own life and brings curiosity, warmth, and sometimes light humour to the therapeutic space. Her role is to hold space and to help clients reconnect with the inner resources that support healing, growth, and resilience.

Counselling with Madison is often experienced as a natural, down-to-earth conversation that is collaborative and gentle. She frames therapy not only as a way to address difficulties, but as a process of uncovering strengths, rediscovering joy, and creating sustainable change. Madison holds the AASW credential - the Australian Association of Social Workers - and integrates evidence-informed practice with a compassionate, practical stance.

Outside of clinical work she brings an energetic and curious presence to life. She is active in netball and scuba diving, enjoys hosting pub trivia, DJs and MCs, and loves travel and meeting people from diverse backgrounds. These interests often inform her therapeutic style, contributing creativity, a sense of adventure, and levity when it is most helpful.
