More about Debra
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- AASW
I am an accredited Social Worker with over 20 years of experience. I support adults experiencing work‑related stress, workplace bullying, or feeling stuck and unclear about their goals. Many people feel worn down by difficult work environments, loss of confidence, or pressure to move forward without knowing what they truly want.
My approach is strengths‑based and person‑centred. I offer a supportive, non‑judgmental space to explore what’s happening at work, understand unhelpful patterns, rebuild confidence, and clarify goals in a way that aligns with your values and current life circumstances. I work collaboratively and at your pace, with a focus on empowerment, self‑understanding, and sustainable change.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
