Debra Allonby

Welcome to Together in Counselling.  My Private Practice is based near the centre of Rawtenstall in Rossendale with free on site parking.  I offer a warm, welcoming, respectful Confidential Counselling Service to Individuals and Couples, and I am also a Counselling Supervisor. In comfortable surroundings, you will feel at ease talking through anything that concerns you, without any fear of being judged. I will listen to you, respect and value you whilst completely hearing and understanding what you say.  We will work together at your own pace to help you find answers, clarity and understanding. 

As my counselling style is Integrative, which means that your sessions will be designed to suit you as an individual or couple. I aim to help you safely explore your issues and concerns, to help you find ways to feel better and move forwards with confidence.  I am a Registered and Accredited Counsellor, qualified and experienced Supervisor and qualified and experienced Couples'/Relationship Counsellor.  

I work with Clients of all ages 16+, with a wide variety of issues.  Individuals, Couples and Supervisees are most welcome to contact me to arrange an appointment directly.  I also take referrals from Employers, GPs, EAPs and Insurers including BUPA and AVIVA.

I am a qualified Counselling/Therapist Supervisor and offer a warm, caring, supportive and encouraging supervision service, where we work closely together to ensure that you flourish and your clients are getting the best possible experience of your expert counselling. Your safe practice and continuous development are important to me.

I am recognised by BUPA, AXA, AVIVA, VITALITY HEALTH and am able to invoice these insurers directly once you have been authorised by them for counselling or psychotherapy.

My practice is based within a beautiful listed building near the centre of Rawtenstall.  With old oak beams and oozing character and charm, my counselling room is warm, friendly, comfortable inviting and relaxing, overlooking a country park.  You will feel at ease in no time.

My first session includes introductions, getting to know a little about each other.  I will offer you a drink and we will go through the initial paperwork together before we begin to identify what you would most like to get out of our counselling sessions.

I am a Person-Centred, Integrative Counsellor and Supervisor, based near the centre of Rawtenstall, Rossendale, BB4. I will provide you with a professional, warm, friendly, caring and supportive Supervision Service.  

I have my own Private Counselling Practice and work with Adults, Children, Young People, Couples & Relationships. I hold a Diploma in Counselling, Certificate in Supervision (MIP), Certificate in Couples/Relationship Counselling and I am also a qualified lecturer, trainer, assessor and verifier and have an NVQ 4 in Management. 

I will encourage and support you - your aspirations really matter to me.  I consider our Supervision Sessions to be a joint opportunity to help you to feel confident in all areas of your work with clients, in order to ensure that you and your clients get the best possible safe, ethical and rewarding experience from your professional counselling sessions.  We will explore together any issues that your counselling work has raised for you and discuss any alternative strategies that you might like to explore with your clients in counselling.

I will take an active interest in your ongoing development and offer all the support that I can to encourage your continued professional development and safe counselling service.

My practice is based within a beautiful old listed building, overlooking a country park, with on site parking.  My room is comfortable, warm and relaxing, with old oak beams and picture windows.

Our first session together is a free half hour which will help us to get to know each other, over a coffee.  We will identify what you would most like to get out of our supervision together, explore your needs and any concerns and I will explain about my own counselling and supervision practice and style/modality.  Once we both feel that we are a good match for your supervision, then we can complete the necessary paperwork together and arrange your first supervision appointment.
