Deborah has been fantastic, and our sessions instrumental in my recovery.
She is highly knowledgeable, compassionate and easy to interact with.
This is by far the best experience I've had with talking therapy

Deborah has helped me understand myself more. She has helped me with my anxiety and depression. She is very open-minded and makes sure to listen to important details. I'm grateful to have her.

I met with Deborah for just under a year and this was my first experience with therapy. Overall I am very grateful for speaking to Deborah during this time. She provided guidance, compassion and also was not afraid to let me know when my behaviours could in fact be damaging myself. I'd certainly recommend Deborah.

She was quick to respond and attentive. Only one session so far but I look forward to more.

We are so grateful for Deborah's help, we are all working towards solutions together as a family and we couldn't do it without her. Thank you Deborah :).

Deborah is very understanding and caring. She takes the time to help me reflect on why I do certain things. She provides videos and articles that are helpful to the situation you’re going through. She definitely cares about her patients. She is very honest and sees all sides of a situation. She’s a great therapist.
