Debbie Withers

My hours of work are variable including evening sessions. 

My name is Debbie and I'm a qualified integrative and PCE CfD supervisor, having completed training with Macclesfield Counselling and Training Centre (2015) and Metanoia (2023). I became accredited as a Counsellor with the BACP in 2013 and have practiced as a supervisor, continuously since 2015 in private practice and my NHS employment, alongside my work as a Counsellor. I am experienced in supervising both trainee and qualified individual counsellors and groups.

I am trained and experienced in providing Person-centred Counselling, CBT, EMDR and Solution-Focussed Therapy. My practice incorporates working across all age groups with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, work-related issues, eating disorders, relationships and personal development, with individuals, couples and groups. In addition, I have completed training in couples counselling (Cherish) and infertility counselling (BICA).

I welcome enquiries and offer a free-of-charge, initial telephone consultation to allow potential supervisees to hear about, and get a feel for, how I work, and to ask any questions they might have before deciding whether to commence supervision with me. 

I offer remote (telephone & video) as well as in-person sessions. I have a comfortable private practice with a discrete, off-road entrance.  

In your first session we would complete a supervision agreement and any other documents you require for your supervision, ie to comply with your training or employment requirements. 

I charge the same for the initial session as for following sessions.

I'm Debbie and I've been working as a counsellor for 20 years. I completed my MSc Counselling Psychology in 2008 and became accredited with the BACP in 2013. I am qualified and experienced in working with individuals, couples, children, young people, adults and older adults.

In my practice I integrate different counselling approaches to suit the needs of my clients, according to presenting issues and client preferences. As a result, my approach is tailored specifically for the individual. 

I welcome enquiries and offer a free-of-charge, initial telephone consultation to allow potential clients to hear about, and get a feel for, how I work, and to ask any questions they might have before deciding whether to commence therapy with me. 

I have a comfortable private practice with a discrete, off-road entrance. You can chose to have in-person, video or telephone sessions, depending on availability.

In your first session I will support you to decide on your goals for therapy and work with you to establish a formulation, based on your presenting issues, looking at how they developed and what is currently maintaining them. 

I work collaboratively with my clients, building confidence and resilience whilst focussing on providing a safe space through empathic understanding, acceptance and congruence.
