Lyns Place Counselling

Hey I'm Deborah and I work under the name of The Lyns Place Counselling which is a tribute to a beautiful family member and my lifelong best friend Lyn, who always encouraged me to follow my calling of becoming a counsellor. In honour of her memory and the support she gave me throughout my life and the light she brought to me and so many others, I have created Lyns Place Counselling. A safe, welcoming, and compassionate space for anyone who may be experiencing personal difficulties or simply need someone to talk to.

My initial approach is person-centred, as I believe that the first steps towards healing, personal growth and positive change can begin with simply being heard. I understand that opening up about our feelings, anxieties, experiences or everyday challenges can sometimes feel difficult as I too have had counselling in the past. I appreciate having the opportunity to talk openly with someone you trust, in a space where you feel safe and at ease, can be an important first step towards finding a brighter and more hopeful path.

My counselling style is authentic, professional and ethical, while also being warm and relaxed. I believe that building a genuine therapeutic relationship and establishing a strong rapport are important in helping clients feel comfortable enough to speak openly and honestly, at their own pace.

I cannot promise to have all the answers, solve your problems or make difficult experiences disappear. What I can offer is a commitment to meet you where you are on your individual life journey, listen without judgement, and support and guide you as you explore your own thoughts and strengths as you work towards greater self-awareness, positive change, personal growth, and in time, your own sense of peace.

If you feel that counselling may be helpful to you, please do not hesitate to get in touch for an initial chat to see if you feel what I offer is right counselling for you. 

I look forward to hearing from you.

Deborah Roberts

As someone who has previously had counselling, I know how important it is to feel at ease with your counsellor and to feel you have a connection. Therefore, I offer an introductory first session where we can have a chat to see if I can offer you the therapy you may need and also to ensure you feel I am the right counsellor for you. I definitely would not be offended if after this initial session, you feel you do not want to proceed. This session will be on a zoom or telephone call and will last approximately 20 minutes. This session will be free of charge. Please contact me via email to arrange an appointment.

Please note that EMDR sessions and Hypnosis sessions can not be offered at an initial session as they are a more specialist form of therapy but can be discussed as a possibility moving forward once we have had an initial discussion,
