Client Testimonials
“Life Altering – Debbie helped me through some very challenging moments of my life with such care and patience.”
“My sessions were extremely helpful – Debbie worked with me holistically and helped me manage some challenges in my life – anxiety, bereavement, and substance abuse. I often return to methods to manage my anxiety that I learnt through counselling, and I am so grateful to have had these sessions with Debbie.”
“Exemplary – so supportive. Client centred, compassionate and attentive. I felt safe and secure very quickly.”
“It is continuing to make a difference to me. I am still processing the ways in which Debbie supported me to begin to face things in my own way and dare to try to make decisions I needed to make. It has undoubtedly moved me forwards and given me strength and hope for the next steps. Thank you so much for making this possible.”
“I feel like I learned a huge amount about myself and processed a lot of emotional baggage I had been carrying for years. Debbie helped me to learn to be compassionate and curious with my feelings and helped me to deal with a very difficult patch of time.”
“My sessions with Debbie have changed the way I approach my own feelings and reactions. Thanks to Debbie’s encouragement I can advocate for my own needs and am now able to set healthy boundaries.”
“From being depressed and having no zest for life I finally feel like me again. Not the old me but the new me and I embrace that. You are amazing Debbie! Thank you so much.”
“Your support and help with my daughter was phenomenal. She is stronger than ever. We both know that this has been due to her time with you.” Mum of CYP client
