Debbie Hunter

I provide confidential face-to-face and online counselling, please feel free to contact me.

I believe we all need counselling at some point in our lives. Do you need to talk and process what you are experiencing? Maybe you are struggling with difficult, unwanted thoughts and feelings. Are you feeling tired or struggling with anxiety and/or depression? Maybe you feel like you are walking through treacle or that there are uncomfortable memories form the past that keep popping up in your mind.

Whatever you are going through there really is HOPE! Now could be the right time for us to explore these thoughts and feelings together, to help you to make sense of them. I am here to listen and support you through this difficult time to enable you to discover new ways forward. I offer a confidential, warm, supportive, non-judgemental environment where you can feel free to explore your concerns to help you understand your feelings to bring change and a new perspective to your life.

I am a qualified Counsellor; I hold a BA (Hons) in Counselling, offering short- or long-term counselling, both day and evening sessions. I work with an integrative approach, which means I draw from many theories of counselling to suit individual needs. I feel passionate about the counselling process.  Before starting my practice, I worked with many adults at a growing counselling charity in Basingstoke, and with young people age 16 and above at Alton College. My experience has covered a variety of ages and issues including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, bereavement, IVF, abuse, anger, drug and alcohol addiction, sexuality, and both physical and learning disabilities such as dyslexia.

Through this work, I have supported many people in different ways including helping them to understand why they may be thinking and feeling the way they do, assisting them to discover skills and strategies to enable them to build resilience. I have felt privileged to support, encourage, and walk alongside the highs and the lows of these incredible people and would be honoured to support you on your journey too.

Counselling

We all experience difficult and painful times in our lives, which can feel extremely uncomfortable, distressing and challenging. Psychological and emotional distress are natural and understandable responses to these. Sometimes the way we feel can impact on our general well-being and affect our everyday lives and relationships. At these times, we may benefit from support in understanding and coping with how we are feeling, which can bring answers and a way forward.

I understand how difficult it may feel to consider exploring your feelings and experiences with a stranger and I can assure you that if you choose to work with me, I will walk your path with you with the greatest care, heartfelt compassion, understanding and most importantly, at your own pace.

My counselling room is situated in Four Marks in a comfortable, private room and is easy to get to with plenty of parking. My room is also in easy reach of Basingstoke, Bordon, Farnham, Hindhead, Lindford, Winchester and their surrounding villages and Towns.
