About Me and Horizon Therapy

My name is Debbie and I came to counselling later in life. I couldn’t have done it before as I had my share of trauma and life difficulties to work through and this has added to life experiences and enriched my depth of empathetic understanding. I am passionate about supporting mental health and believe in the benefits of talking therapies. My approach to counselling is to be natural - in therapy, we are allowed to cry, laugh, discuss as and when appropriate - it's not all listening and nodding. I engage with my clients within professional boundaries for the hour a week they are with me. As I have grown as a counsellor so have my experiences within the therapy room. I find I can engage oin different ways depending on who is sat in front of me, working with neuro-diversity and learning more about its effects has led me to finding a passion to help with in particular ADHD. From my own experiences I also have a greater understanding of the menopause from not only the womens experience but also how it can affect the partners of those going through the menopause.
 
With Horizon Therapy, I offer 1-to-1 appointments via practice and online delivery (telephone and video call) helping with relationship problems, depression, anxiety, bereavement, addiction and any other issues causing stress or sadness. I'm trained as a pluralistic counsellor which means I can combine various modalities of counselling although I base my counselling style on a person-centred approach, ensuring each person gets exactly what they need.

I am fully qualified and insured to conduct both individual and couples counselling sessions for a range of issues. I am also a member of the National Counselling Society. For more information, please contact me.
