Madelanne combines psychological depth with a warm, creative energy. She is known for her ability to tune into subtle dynamics, bringing lightness, challenge, and care in equal measure. Whether supporting a single team or hosting a 250-person peer-learning programme, she helps people connect more openly, think more boldly, and step into new ways of working with confidence.

Before moving into organisational consultancy, Madelanne trained and practised as a psychotherapist. She holds an MA in Counselling Psychology from Naropa University and brings a psychologically informed lens to all her work. Her style is both attuned and adaptive, equally at home in senior boardrooms and community-driven initiatives.

Madelanne’s clients span a range of sectors—from manufacturing and technology to the third sector and place-based systems change. She’s worked with organisations including Warburtons, GG Hospitality, Scan Computers, Transition Network, Mustardseed Trust, and The Active Wellbeing Society.

Outside of RISE, Madelanne is a Trustee for two global charities. She lives in Edinburgh with her husband and their small dog Lily, and finds joy in coastal walks, singing with choirs, and the occasional ceilidh.
