About me
I am an accredited counsellor and trauma therapist with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals through some of lifes most challenging moments. My practice is rooted in empathy, safety, and evidence-based approaches that empower clients to heal and grow.

I have extensive expereince working with survivors of sexual and domestic violence, as well as individuals and families navigating palliative care and bereavement.

I have recently established a central london practice offering a face to face confidential and compassionate space for adults seeking support with trauma, anxiety, grief and life transitions. I also continue to offer support online.

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.
