Hello, my name is Debbie, and I am an accredited, multi award winning and experienced Integrative Psychotherapist. I have studied counselling and psychotherapy for eleven years and am currently completing my Doctorate Degree in Psychotherapy and counselling. The way I work, is to draw on different theoretical models to provide my clients with a tailored and bespoke approach to match their individual needs. I help clients gain a deeper understanding of their self by working through obstacles and difficulties, exploring why these may have arisen, and how to learn and move on from them. I know first hand how daunting it can be going into therapy, but even though making that first step is hard, it is undeniably a step towards healing. I will be alongside you every step of the way, offering warmth, support, an open mind and understanding.
In addition to having a Master degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, I have two Post Graduate diplomas, one in CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and the other in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. I believe in healing the whole person, which includes the mind and body. I will walk alongside you to make sense of your experiences and explore new ways of being. In this way, I hope to help you gain greater insight and understanding of yourself.
How counselling can help:
I provide a compassionate, open, non-judgemental space. I want to support you in gaining a deeper insight into drivers of distress, overcome emotional barriers and find alternative ways to cope or bring about change so that you can achieve an optimum state of mental health and wellbeing. Please get in touch and take the first step in owning your future.

My first session
I am an accredited Psychotherapist specialising in working with teenagers, adults, couples and families. Establishing a safe, trusting relationship where you feel listened to and understood is at the core of my practice. We would work collaboratively to reflect on patterns in thinking, behaviour and relationships that might be causing you difficulty, and allow space to explore who you are.
In session, I use a fusion of different modalities to offer bespoke, tailored interventions. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. We will look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. I'll help you learn to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
