Hello and welcome, I’m Debbie Andrews – a warm, down-to-earth counsellor based in Leominster, Herefordshire.  I am a qualified person-centred counsellor and supervisor, registered with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). and the Association of Christians in counselling.  I have a degree in Psychology and regularly attend continuing professional development courses. I have worked with a wide range of ages and issues including anxiety, bereavement, depression, disability, domestic violence, LGBTQ, low self esteem, school issues, self harm, young people and adolescents.

Sometimes life can be overwhelming and it's good to talk about what's going on with someone who isn't a friend or a family member and who won't tell you what to do or judge you. I work with my clients to help them find their own answers; to understand what is going on for them. It is often through confidentially talking through their situation that clients begin to understand what they are thinking or feeling.

One of my aims is to explore healthy ways of coping as well as looking at things that have happened in the past. It is my belief that while counselling can't change your circumstances it can help with how you react to them and give you choices and control.

I am a Christian working in a person centred way.

I am a person-centred counsellor. I believe that you are the expert on you, and that my role is to support you by working with you help untangle your thoughts and feelings.  I agree with Carl Rogers, who pioneered person-centred theory: that we want to be the best version of ourselves. To do that it helps to discover what's going on in our heads in order to work through our life choices and to be the best we can be. Counselling is not about telling you what to do - it's about listening and wanting to understand how life feels in your shoes. And that's where I hope to help you.

What to expect

I offer a free 30 minute trial session so that you can see if you feel comfortable working with me and if I am the right counsellor for you. Subsequent sessions last 50 minutes and I believe it is beneficial to meet weekly for as many times as we both find helpful, whether that just be a few sessions or more longer term.

I am happy to work online using various video platforms or the telephone.
