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.

I came to Debbie for hypnotherapy for weight loss as I’ve struggled with this for a long time. It was different to what I had expected but it’s given me the tools to work on what I need to do to achieve my goal. I started losing weight from our first meeting and have continued to do so in a consistent controlled manner. Debbie always made me feel comfortable and safe and I would recommend her to anyone looking to do the same. Thank you Debbie!
