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 living in the UK and internationally. I now also offer face-to-face sessions from my Dundee City Centre office.
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.
