About Madison Carruthers

Madison is a recently registered general psychologist at Living Well Psychology. She completed her studies at Griffith University on the Gold Coast in 2023 and gained her general registration at the beginning of 2025. She is currently undertaking the Master of Clinical Psychology Practice. 

Madison grew up in Far North Queensland and is of Papua New Guinean and Chinese descent. She is deeply committed to exploring how the many facets of our identity—such as race, gender, sexuality, socio-economic status, migration experiences, and cultural background—shape our mental health and overall well-being.  

Madison believes that understanding and managing these interconnected parts of ourselves is essential to healing and growth. She honours the uniqueness of each person’s story and works in a tailored, holistic way to support clients in navigating their experiences with compassion and clarity. 

Madison’s clinical experience includes providing therapy across the lifespan including adults, older adults, adolescents, children and their families. She has a particular interest in working with trauma, emotional regulation, anxiety and depression, and navigating identity difficulties. 

She has experience in conducting cognitive and psychological assessments. 

Madison’s practice is best described as an integrative approach and is informed by modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Schema mode Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Mindfulness. 

Outside of the clinic, Madison enjoys listening to music, reading, cooking elaborate meals and watching a good film or tv show.
