I have been practising person-centred counselling since 2007 working predominantly with children, young people, and families. Through continued CPD I have developed a wide range of skills that enable me to support children both in a school and private setting. I also work with adults as a person-centred counsellor and have extensive knowledge of bereavement counselling.
I provide confidential support for a range of issues including anxiety, depression, bereavement and loss, family separation, attachment concerns, parenting struggles, and self-harm.
In my work, I use Carl Rogers’ person-centred model and I also incorporate experiential play therapy when working with children. I am a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists and adhere to their code of practice. I complete regular safeguarding training and attend monthly supervision sessions.
Additional areas of focus: Attachment issues, Chronic pain, illness, and disability, Divorce and separation, Forgiveness, Life purpose, Self-love, Social anxiety and phobia, Women's issues

Deborah is very genuine, kind and caring therapist that I feel totally feel understood. She skilfully helps me make connections between my feelings and what is going on in my life. I am forever grateful for her support.

Deborah has helped me, in barely a couple of sessions, more than countless other long-term therapy instances I have had. She is deeply sensitive to my feelings and truly understands where my issues stem from, even when I don’t even know where to start explaining them. She is emotionally very intelligent, intuitive, and gently supportive

Deb has been great! She was able to pinpoint where my issues have been coming from and gave me a couple of exercises to walk through to help me with my issues. I had several realizations as well during our conversations, which helped me tremendously!
