About me
Life at times can be challenging. We may encounter events or life experience that leave us feeling isolated and without a voice and the need to be supported emotionally. Some experiences despite being in our past can impact on everyday living in the here and now. This can lead to us feeling anxious, depressed, angry or frustrated and questioning ourselves and impact on our ability and confidence to cope.
However you may have a specific issue such as a bereavement or loss, low self-esteem or lack of confidence that you would like to address. Or a historical event or experience that is impacting on your life. Counselling can offer you a supportive and safe space in which to offload, explore or better understand your experience(s).
This confidential and supportive environment will enable you the opportunity to express and explore your thoughts and feelings freely without being judged. The therapeutic process will assist you in gaining a clearer understanding of the presenting issue(s) and help make sense of feelings and difficulties leading to greater self-awareness and help in exploring ways to manage your life.
I am an accredited BACP Counsellor and Counselling Supervisor, EMDR Therapist and CISM Consultant offering a safe and ethical way of working. I have experience of talking with people all ages in various settings.
I work from an integrative framework which allows me to adapt my approach to meet the individual client’s needs. Please feel free to contact me and we can discuss in advance your specific support requirements.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Client Testimonial.
Feb 17 Client R
I was extremely nervous about going to see a therapist. Within moments of meeting Debbie all of the fear left my body and I was immediately at ease and able to trust, I felt secure and safe. Talking and breaking through layers of self-protection is not easy and takes time. I cannot recommend Debbie highly enough. She has an incredible, sometimes unfathomable, awareness and ability to analyse situations and relationships. Her professionalism is exemplary. Anyone who feels they in need of support should get in touch as soon as possible. I waited such a long time before I asked for help. Seeing Debbie has completely changed my perspective and her support and techniques have given me the tools to maintain good mental health and positive self-care that I could not have achieved alone. She is a truly exceptional individual and her broad range of study and experience is a huge comfort to a doubtful and questioning mind.
