Debbie Humphries

Do you have thoughts or feelings that you feel unable to talk about with friends or family?

I can help you with issues that are difficult to talk about, including anxiety, depression, low self esteem, trauma, sexual abuse, autism and ADHD.

Some issues are more difficult to define. They can be more like:

•       ‘Life feels really difficult’
•       ‘I wish I felt happier’
•       ‘I’ve been feeling really low’
•       ‘I feel like I’m going mad’

I’m Debbie and I am genuinely interested to understand more about you and your unique experience. No problem is too trivial or too shocking. I will listen to what you want to achieve through counselling and support you to live your best life, whatever that may mean for you. 

About me

I am a fully qualified counsellor and a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (MBACP) and I adhere to their ethical framework and guidelines, so you can feel confident that I know what I’m doing. 

I work within a trauma informed, phased approach to ensure that we work at a pace that is safe for you. As an ‘integrative’ counsellor, I believe it’s important for the therapy to be shaped to your individual needs. 

Tailoring your counselling specifically for you means that I can adapt multiple approaches to help you meet your therapy goals. I am passionate in my belief that people have an amazing capacity for change and growth. I work by providing an environment that helps people flourish and find their authentic self. 

Some of the issues that I can help with

•       Anxiety
•       Depression
•       Trauma – including PTSD
•       Abuse – including sexual and emotional
•       Neurodiversity – including Autism and ADHD 
•       Bereavement and grief
•       Low self esteem
•       Relationships

I regularly work with those impacted by abuse, such as sexual, emotional or physical abuse, including childhood trauma. Even a single incident of abuse can have a profound, lasting impact, including anxiety, depression and low self esteem. 

As a neurodivergent counsellor, I work with all neurotypes but I find that autistic and/or ADHD clients benefit from having a counsellor who understands neurodiversity through lived experience. 

I also work with couples experiencing relationship difficulties where neurodivergence, such as autism or ADHD is either suspected or diagnosed.

What will counselling be like with me?

I will listen to what you want to achieve through counselling and support you to live your best life, whatever that may mean for you. I will provide you with a safe, confidential, non-judgemental and down to earth counselling experience. I am warm, welcoming and empathic and I understand that deciding to come for counselling can be a big step. 

I offer short and long term counselling sessions to adults of all ages within the UK. I work online or in person in my therapy room in Hartley Wintney, Hampshire, RG27 8FA. I place no upper limit on the amount of sessions needed and this is a process we would review together whilst we work. There is also no minimum commitment and clients are free to leave when they would like.
