Hi my name is Debbie, welcome to my profile.  If you are reading this then the chances are that you or somebody you care about is feeling depressed, anxious or may be having difficulty coping. I can assure you you are not alone as one in four adults feel this way at some point in their life. When living with anxiety or depression, talking to a person you trust can be the first step towards recovery,but sometimes speaking to friends or family is not enough. This is where counselling may be able to help.  Counselling is an opportunity to speak to a qualified professional who is not involved in your life but is there just for you. Together we can explore what is going on for you and how you can move forward more positively in your life.

As a counsellor my role is to provide you with a safe and confidential environment in which to support you. I am a compassionate, non judgemental, skilled listener and I feel very passionate about counselling as I have witnessed the benefits that it can bring.

I am registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to their Ethical Framework for Good Practice. I am committed to my on-going professional development and undertake regular training courses and professional supervision to ensure that I am providing you with a quality service.

I have full indemnity insurance and an enhanced DBS check.

I understand how daunting it can be to contact a counsellor, therefore if you would like to contact me prior to deciding whether to make an appointment, I am happy to speak on phone and answer any questions you may have and I promise you will be in safe hands.
