About Me

Hello and Welcome!

I'm Debbie (she/her)!

I am a French expat living in Scotland. I grew up in Angers, a beautiful city located in the North West of France. I moved to Aberdeen when I was 18 for my studies and fell in love with Scotland, the warmth of its people and the beauty of its nature. I now live in Dundee. I have a dog and a cat whom I adore. I love writing, dancing and being outdoors (hiking, camping, climbing... anything outdoors!). 

 

I am a qualified person-centred counsellor and a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP). I offer counselling sessions online to individuals, couples and young people in English and in French.

I am very passionate about helping people find a way to cope better with challenging aspects of their lives. I have worked with a wide range of individuals with diverse backgrounds and life stories. I find joy in accompanying my clients in their journey towards growth and healing.
