Anonymous Couple, 50s

"My wife and I noticed that we have a better understanding of ourselves and others. We now have new tools to use for better communication and understanding. We would highly recommend for others to undergo therapy with Debbie."
Pebbles

I work in a pluralistic way and adapt my therapeutic approach to provide the kind of therapy that works best for you. I provide an empathic, non-judgemental and genuine space that facilitates self-exploration, growth and healing. I work closely together with my clients to provide a warm, confidential and safe space.

​

​I draw my practice from many different theories including attachment theory, transactional analysis, systemic, psychodynamic and person-centred approaches.
