Debbie is amazing! She is so compassionate and considerate and highly person centred which really helps me. You can clearly tell she wants to help and enjoys helping. She is a 5 star therapist and has helped me so so much.

Written on Nov 08, 2024 after therapy with Deborah for 1 year and 9 months on issues concerning trauma and abuse, grief, and intimacy-related issues

Debbie is a wonderful therapist for me. Skilled with a variety of approaches she is helping me to navigate turbulent times, and to assess mange and reduce the blocks that I wanted to address. She is compassionate and professional with us assessing further and deeper when appropriate, and is great at keeping me on task, and checking in with my goals and how they may be changing.
A massive thank you Debbie!

Written on Oct 19, 2023 after therapy with Deborah for 6 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, lgbt, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, and coping with life changes

Debbie is an attentive and caring listener. She lets you speak and asks though-provoking and meaningful questions at the right time. Her attention to details is appreciated as it shows that she genuinely cares about her clients. Debbie has a kind and soothing voice which really helps to settle the nerves - especially if it’s your first time in therapy. I have had counselling previously but I have no doubt in saying that Debbie has provided the most useful sessions that I have ever experienced. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone who may be struggling right now. Thank you, Debbie!
