With her approachable and empathetic manner, Debbie creates a safe space for both children and adults alike to feel heard, valued, and understood so that you can overcome your difficulties in a supportive and non-judgmental way.

Her ability to connect with clients of all ages, combined with her natural warmth and clinical insight, allows her to support a wide range of emotional and psychological needs with care and compassion which helps people supported and nurtured in their growth.

Compassionate & Client-Focused Counsellor

Debbie’s decision to move into counselling grew from her years working in healthcare, where she developed a deep interest in the emotional and psychological aspects of healing.

She felt compelled to support people beyond the clinical and medical, helping them work through the emotional realities of life’s toughest moments.

Her commitment to mental health and passion for helping others led her to retrain and expand her skills in counselling; a decision she describes as life-changing and deeply rewarding.

Debbie has a range of exprience helping children and adults alike overcome their difficulties so that her clients can go on to feel free of emotional burden and enjoy life again.

Life Outside the Therapy Room

When she’s not working with clients, Debbie enjoys spending time with her family and keeping active.

She loves walking her dog, sea swimming, grabbing a coffee outdoors, and connecting with nature, all of which are activities that help her stay grounded and energised.

Her genuine love for people and ability to build rapport with everyone she meets means clients often find it easy to open up and begin their therapeutic journey towards wellbeing.
