About me
Welcome. My name is Deborah and I am a Pluralistic Person-Centred Creative Arts Therapist and counselling training based in Worthing. I have 32 years of experience in counselling practice and training counsellors.
My primary focus is on creating a trusting and safe environment with you, allowing us to explore any concerns you may have. I work with you at a pace which is comfortable for you. Alongside talking therapy, I offer creative arts counselling using imagery, movement or metaphor to explore thoughts, feelings and trauma. Working creatively provides a way of working in a way that can feel contained and less intrusive than talking therapy alone. You can choose if and when you want to use creative arts, it is your space to use in a way that feels right for you.
I will support you in finding your answers and in making any changes you believe will improve your life. Sometimes, change is not what is wanted or needed; you may want to work through some difficult feelings and issues to gain closure or acceptance.
I have experience working as a counsellor in the NHS, colleges and universities, voluntary organisations, as well as in my private work.
I am also a counselling tutor and have been training counsellors for over 30 years. I understand the difficulties associated with counsellor training and am very happy to offer training rates to students. I offer counselling training at Rooms Worthing: CPCAB Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills; CPCAB Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Studies; CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and CPCAB Level 5 Diploma in Counselling Children & You g People.
