Deborah Pleasants

You may be living with depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, low self-esteem or relationship issues. I offer a supportive space, in which we can explore whatever thoughts, feelings, behaviours or circumstances you may be facing. Together we will develop a better understanding of yourself and others. We will also explore your own solutions – whether that’s making effective changes in your life or finding ways of coping with problems that have no solution. My aim is to carefully guide you whilst giving you a sense of agency to move forward with your life.

I believe the relationship between therapist and client to be very important and whilst we unpick issues together, I will offer you a sanctuary for you to freely explore what is troubling you in a warm, non-judgemental, and confidential environment. Drawing from my own challenges and life experience has given me the warmth, connection and compassion needed to support people from all walks of life. I understand the value of being heard, seen, and supported. I am an empathetic listener; intuitive thinker and I will put you firmly at the centre of our work together.

Working within the NHS and private practice, I have counselled a variety of issues. I realise that each client will present their own unique problems, contexts and circumstances, that will respond differently. Therefore, I am a strong advocate for a flexible approach. As an integrative counsellor, I employ a variety of methods and techniques to suit the needs of each individual.

 I use various modalities such as the Humanistic, Person Centered, CBT, Transactional Analysis, IFS, Gestalt, Psychodynamic, Compassion Focused Therapy, Positive Psychology, Solution Focused and Mindfulness.

My initial sessions are very much about listening and deepening understanding around the issue/s, an integrative approach is weaved in later when appropriate.

I am available face to face in Kingsbridge or online.
