I am an experienced, mature, Counsellor, Couple’s counsellor and Hypnotherapist. I bring a wealth of life and work experience to the therapy room with a 30+ year background of working with many of the most vulnerable in society within the Criminal Justice system.
It was my work with victims and families that had lost loved ones through crime that inspired my desire to become a therapist. I offer a broad range of therapeutic expertise, working with trauma, anxiety, depression, bereavement, smoking cessation, self-defeating behaviours, phobias, and my chosen specialisms of solution focussed couple’s counselling & weight loss management.
I am an LGBTQ+ affirmative counsellor and welcome clients from diverse backgrounds who may be struggling with their identity and the expectations of society or who have suffered due to the lack of understanding and tolerance of others.
As a Pluralistic counsellor, I encourage my clients to be part of the decision-making throughout their therapeutic journey. My clients are encouraged to express their wishes and to feedback on what works for them in the therapy room. I will always listen to that feedback and work collaboratively with my clients to support them to reach their goals.

Debbie was very fair and neutral and listened to both sides, she has a way of making you see the other persons point of view without making your own seem less valid. She is compassionate and digs deep to get to the route of the problems . She’s a good listener and never makes you feel like it’s all been silly . I would highly Recommened Debbie either for single sessions or couples sessions as they say “Therapy saves lives ”
Thank you Debbie for all your help.
