Deborah Chadbourn

I work Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday morning

Please get in touch to see if I have a slot available

If you’re looking for help with grief, anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, or if you’re just feeling lost, stuck, unhappy or unsure about how to deal with life in general, perhaps I can help.

I offer talking therapy drawing on the person-centred approach and solution-focused brief therapy. I tailor my approach to your unique needs and can help with a range of different issues. I believe in people’s own resourcefulness and will put you at the centre of our work. We'll explore together what works for you and I may suggest tools and techniques  to help address particular obstacles.

I’m a mature counsellor with a wealth of life experience and will offer you a calm, respectful space to tell your story at your pace and in your own words.

I draw on a range of theories and approaches having undertaken additional training to work with people who identify as neurodivergent and I’m trauma informed. 

I’m disability aware, valuing each person for their unique identity.

I've completed end-of-life doula foundation training and have worked in a hospice for two years, so am comfortable working with people who are coping with a life-limiting or terminal illness, or who are caring for someone who is. 

Professional Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy

After an introductory phone call for you to ask further questions about me and my practice, we'll arrange an initial session so that you can see if it feels right to work with me. 

There’s no obligation to commit to more sessions but if it feels helpful, we’ll agree on the frequency of further sessions at a time that suits us both. Sessions are in person unless we agree that online would work better for you. I do offer walking sessions.
