About me
Hi, I'm Deb, counsellor/psychotherapist and supervisor. I work with adults, children and young people and couples. I also offer Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) which is especially effective for treated past traumas, either big or small or phobias such as flying, helping to integrate previous experiences creating a more balanced view.
My main training is psychodynamic, which basically mean I look for repeating patterns and unconscious processes. More insight into these processes can provide tools to make changes, sometimes just small ones to live a more fulfilling life. I also look at relational dynamics.
People come to therapy for many different reasons, it might be a specific event or a sense that things need to be different. I provide a safe confidential space separate from current life/relationships where we can explore things together. I offer support and empathy.
Therapy can provide the space for you to explore feelings and thoughts you find too difficult or confusing to discuss with your family and friends. I work both long and short term, dependant on your individual needs.
As well as my private practice I have worked with children and young people for an organisation in Leicester. I have worked in a High School in Birmingham and for several years in a charitable organisation in Leicester both counselling a variety of people and assessing new clients. Previous to retraining as a counsellor I worked primarily in Housing.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
