Hello, I’m Debbie.

As a qualified therapeutic counsellor, I understand that reaching out for help can be daunting, especially if it’s your first time. I appreciate your courage in taking this step.

I use an integrative approach, combining person-centered and psychodynamic theories to help you achieve your goals. Having worked in corporate business before becoming a counsellor, I know how consuming life can be—balancing work, family, relationships, and personal well-being.

I offer a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings, reflect on your past, and focus on what you want to change. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, work-related stress, redundancy, relationship issues, or grief, I’m here to support you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
