Hello, my name is Debbie.

I am a qualified therapeutic counsellor, firstly I would like to say I appreciate its not easy reaching out, looking for a counsellor. If you have never had counselling it can be daunting, not knowing what to expect.

I work with an integrative approach, this means I use both person centred and psychodynamic theories, together we will work on what you want to change to achieve your goals through counselling.

I know its not easy making changes in life, I worked in corporate business before becoming a counsellor and understand sometimes life can be consuming. Maintaining a job, raising a family, relationship issues, money worries let alone looking after your wellbeing. We never know what challenges lie ahead, or when a past traumatic event may catch us out.

I am enthusiastic about supporting clients to understand what is going on preventing them to move forward, unable to talk about their feelings with friends and family without being criticised or told what to do.

I offer a warm, compassionate, non-judgemental therapeutic space where you can talk through your current dilemmas, explore your past, and focus on what you want to change to achieve your goals in life.

I have experience of working with anxiety, depression, work related stress, redundancy, and relationship issues as well as grief due to the loss of a loved one.

The choice is yours; it is an opportunity to understand yourself in a safe confidential space, with me by your side.

Thank you for reading my profile, I wish you well on your therapeutic journey.

Best wishes

Debbie

At our first session we will talk through your concerns, expectations, and goals. Are looking for a set number of sessions or open-ended therapy. Together we can talk through a counselling plan, which we can review at any time, and make any changes along the way to achieve your overall goals.

Therapy sessions are usually once a week, for 50 minutes at the same location.

Looking after our mental health goes hand in hand with our physical health, we are all different, being listened too knowing you have a voice, recognised as a whole person, can make a different to how you feel.

Everyone can get anxious from time to time, but when our anxiety becomes overwhelming and is having an impact on our daily life, it’s time to find out the root cause. As well as working with anxiety, I can help with:

• Depression

• Lack of confidence, low self esteem

• Feeling that you can't cope.

• Relationship issues, feeling you no longer have a voice or choices in life.

• Loss, bereavement, divorce, unemployment, redundancy.

• Eating disorders

• Self-harm

• Depression, low mood, panic attacks

I offer a no obligation 30 minutes telephone or video call, we will complete an assessment form together and talk about what you hope to achieve through counselling.

It is an opportunity for you to ask questions and for us to get to know one and other. If you feel comfortable, we can discuss next steps or arrange a therapy session, the choice is yours!
