About

I’m a writer living in Victoria, Canada. I publish my work on my personal blog, which can be found on Substack here.I write primarily about my experiences with money, men, sex, and death. In addition to my personal writing, my work has been published in the National Post, the Toronto Star, and the Ottawa Citizen.I offer a unique service called Professional Listening. It’s a bit like therapy, and a bit like coaching, but quite a bit more casual and flexible than either.Scroll down for more information about Professional Listening, and for links to my articles and social media profiles.You are welcome to contact me. I can be reached at RebeccaMadisonWriting at Gmail dot com.Professional Listening SessionsThe aim of Professional Listening is to support you in solving issues in your life, moving past a situation that is holding you back, and figuring out a healthy, joyful path forward.I’ll know I’ve done my job if I can support you in feeling a sense of relief, like an incredible weight has been lifted off your shoulders. I’ll know I’ve really done my job if you have a sense of what your next steps are, and if you have started to make progress in getting to where you want to be next.Typically people reach out to me because of my unique background. They feel comfortable with me because I worked as a companion for many years, and because I have also trained and worked as a counsellor. Often, people want to talk to me about something related to sex or the sex industry.It’s common for me to hear from men who are seeing sex workers, who are having affairs, who feel distressed in their relationships, or who feel somewhat directionless or lost in life.Here’s how how a session with me works:We meet on zoom for an hour and talk about whatever’s on your mind. I listen, hold space for your thoughts and feelings, and offer guidance or feedback when appropriate and when requested.Sessions are one hour long, held over zoom. The cost is $215 USD per session.You’re welcome to book a session here and there as needed, or we can schedule a time to speak weekly or every other week for as long as you need support with whatever is going on.Ultimately, the goal is for you to achieve relief, clarity, and resolution so that you don’t need to speak with me anymore. I aim to empower you to move forward without professional assistance, so that you can just live your life.To book a Professional Listening session, send me an email at RebeccaMadisonWriting at Gmail dot com.
