Hi, I’m Maddison Bracey.

I’m a Gold Coast-based registered psychologist and co-founder of The Lavarack Rooms, with over nine years of experience in the field of mental health treatment. My background spans a wide range of mental health concerns, from acute hospital settings to private practice, allowing me to provide safe and comprehensive care at every stage of your journey.

Using a holistic approach, I’ll support you in finding new direction. My therapeutic style is warm, laid-back, and welcoming, creating a calm, safe space for reflection and growth. Building a strong, trusting connection is at the heart of my work, and I’m passionate about helping people overcome mental health challenges and flourish in all areas of life. Together, we’ll work as a team to achieve your therapeutic goals.

Healing is a process of building resilience to accept oneself & find a brighter mental well-being.

  • With a contemporary approach and through a holistic lens I will work with your to tailor a therapeutic experience personalised to your experiences and unique needs.

    During my initial sessions, I like to spend some time understanding your history and who you are as a person so we can form initial therapy goals to what is going to be effective for you. I believe there is no “one size fits all” and this is clear in my practice.
