My name is Debbie, I am an experienced counsellor, accredited with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists. I work on-line or over the telephone dependent on your preference.
The therapeutic relationship is at the centre of our work together and providing a confidential, accepting space helps to facilitate this. We would work at your pace to explore the issues that you bring.
I have experience working in a range of settings as a therapist, but also previously as a nurse. I work with a range of issues and offer a free 30 minute telephone session to talk about what brings you to therapy.
Please email me to book a 30 minute session; debbieclarecounselling@gmail.com
Together we will focus on what has been troubling you, building a trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel safe to explore your thoughts and feelings, or perhaps understand patterns that are more deep seated.
As an integrative therapist, I will tailor my approach to your needs as we work together to achieve what you would like to accomplish. By working collaboratively, we can tailor the work to meet your needs.
After a long career in nursing, I moved to the charity sector where I have supported and walked alongside people who have experienced a stroke, women at a Women's Centre, those experiencing mental health difficulties at a Mental Health charity and most recently ran a service where I worked with both the dying and the bereaved at a local Hospice.
I am an Integrative Therapist, this means I draw on a range of theoretical models in my work with you tailoring to your unique needs.
I can offer short-term work where we can develop possible solutions to more recent issues. However, when feelings and difficulties are more embedded, long-term work can help us identify patterns and make sense of things in greater depth.
During our first session, we will explore the boundaries of confidentiality as this helps to build a trusting and safe space. We can discuss your needs in more depth and explore what has brought you to therapy. You can then decide how you would like to move forward.
I have experience working with adults who have experienced anxiety and depression, low self esteem, low self worth, difficult life events, relationship issues, abuse, life transitions, loss and bereavement.
I also have experience working with people who have had strokes, head and neck cancers and have worked in hospice settings with families experiencing serious illness and loss.
I work with clients who are struggling with heightened emotions and who may be trying to make sense of themselves and the world they experience. You may be dealing with change, loss of a loved one, or perhaps trying to navigate a medical diagnosis. I work with individuals who are 18.
I charge £60 for a 50 minute session.
