About me

I’m Debbie. I trained with the Mindspace Foundation, a CPCAB accredited provider for counselling professionals in Hampshire. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I have worked within counselling services supporting young adults through a government funded organisation, where therapy often focused on relationships, identity, emotional wellbeing and rebuilding confidence after difficult life experiences.

I currently work in private practice with adults across the UK offering online and telephone counselling.

I Work With

  • Is your relationship in crisis? I work with individuals affected by relational trauma. I believe that stabilisation for each individual is vital before any explore of couples counselling.

    For the betrayed partner:

    Has your world be turned upside down? Are you suffering with shock, hyper vigilance, poor sleep, and a roller coaster of emotions from anger to deep grief? Do you feel unsure of reality, other people or even yourself?

    I can provide an emotionally safe holding space where you can stabilise, regain your footing and rebuild agency and meaning.

    For the unfaithful partner:

    Are you wondering how you got here? Feeling confused, distressed and totally unsure of yourself with no clue for what happens next?

    I offer a caring non judgmental safe space where you can untangle your thoughts, regain clarity, rebuild agency and meaning. Together we can find a way forward.

  • You may have reached the end of the road of your relationship but the divorce can feel anything but final. It can be a destabilising and disorienting time.

    Communication with your ex-partner might be strained or emotionally charged. You may be under immense pressure, trying to manage both practical and emotional demands at the same time.

    I can help you understand your feelings so you can navigate this difficult road in a way that feels grounded and aligned with your values.

  • Feeling overwhelmed and under huge strain- is it all getting too much?

    Perhaps there’s redundancy or bullying or a constant sense of dread running in the background all the time.

    Work pressures can take you beyond discomfort, where everything starts to feel unmanageable and exhausting

    Reach out if you need help with getting yourself regulated and back in control.

  • Relationships can bring us the greatest joy in our lives, but they can also be a source of hurt, confusion and loneliness. Whether you’re struggling with a partner, family member, or friend, navigating estrangement, blended family dynamics, conflict, or finding yourself constantly walking on eggshells to keep the peace, therapy can help.

    Together we can explore the patterns, emotions and experiences that shape your relationships and work towards creating healthier and more fulfilling connections.

  • Maybe you’ve experienced the loss of a person close to you and you want to talk about how deeply you’ve been affected, but it feels like everyone else has moved on - or you don’t want to burden them.

    Yet there’s still so much more you want to say.

    You’re journey through grief is your own, it might feel straight forward or complex depending on who you’ve lost and what your relationship was like.

    There’s no right or wrong way to grieve, you can share every part and share it again, that’s a natural need. I’m here to listen.

  • Perhaps you or someone close to you has been diagnosed or is living with a serious illness.

    You may be fearful about the future and unsure how best to care for both yourself and others.

    Maybe you’re thinking, “why me?” You might feel disbelief, shock, a desire to escape?

    Suddenly something that happens to other people is happening to you.

    This is a demanding time in which you might be facing one of your greatest fears.

    If you need time off from ‘being brave’, get in touch.

  • Perhaps there’s a sense of losing momentum - you think tomorrow will be different, but that day feels just like the last.

    There may be a feeling of immense pressure that’s just exhausting.

    You’d like to find a path forward but it all feels too much.

    When you can talk in a space that’s away from the pressures of the world you live in, it can make all the difference.

    It allows you to explore how you actually feel and understand what’s keeping you stuck where you are.

    It can be a worrying and uncertain time, I’m here to help.

  • Is life overwhelming? Do you feel lost and under immense pressure? Perhaps you’ve a feeling of dread, feel left behind or you don’t actually know how you feel anymore - just numb.

    Firstly let me reassure you that you are not alone in feeling this way. Many young adults experience periods of deep uncertainty. Therapy can provide a space to think and reflect so you can build a life that’s more authentic and meaningful.

    Maybe you’re here, reading this on behalf of someone you care about, you may be trying really hard to help yet at a loss on what to do next?
