Deborah is a kind-hearted and warm person who really made me feel seen and understood. From just a few sentences she was able to reflect back to me what my underlying concerns and problems were. In my opinion she is professional, open-minded and attuned to her clients. Thank you, Deborah :)

This has been the best experience. Deborah is kind, reassuring and quick to focus on on what I needed in therapy. She allows me to share what I need to share in my own time. Couldn't have found a better therapist.

I’m sad to be writing this as it means my time with Debbie has come to an end, but I can’t thank her enough for the support she has provided me with to change my perception, reframe my thinking and believe in myself. Debbie was never once judgemental, she accepted me and my ways of thinking, and never once questioned why I’d came to perceive situations this way. She just worked through them with me, slowly but with encouragement, to reframe how I felt and how to deal with these going forward. Debbie used a variety of short assessments and questionnaires to establish where I needed support and how we worked to achieving my goals. It’s important to be open minded to these, as it really allowed us to have a shared understanding of how we move forward. Thanks Debbie for all your help.

Through our sessions Deborah has given me the strength to get my life back. When I first started counselling I was a shell of a person, withdrawn from friends and family, anxious to see anyone and going through a tough break up. Deborah's warm and caring attitude along with targetted support sessions have given me the strength and independence I needed to regain happiness again. I cannot recommend Deborah more highly to anyone who is considering counselling. She helped me through my darkest times and for that I will forever be grateful. Thank you!
