About | That-Therapist

Welcome, I’m Deb

As a therapist, my goal is to support and empower clients as they navigate life's

challenges, helping them rebuild a sense of self, develop healthier coping strategies,

and foster more meaningful connections.
My approach is relational and compassionate, grounded in respect, trust and

confidentiality.

I work with adults, young people and families and have particular experience in

areas such as grief and loss, self-esteem, anxiety, depression and relationship

difficulties. I also have a strong interest in working with individuals navigating

transitions, identity and belonging.

I understand that each person's history and experiences are unique.

I offer a non-judgmental space where you can safely explore whatever you may be

carrying.

My training spans both the UK and Australia. I hold a Master's degree in Clinical
Counselling with additional post-graduate qualifications in Trauma
Counselling and the Hakomi Foundation. I also hold a post-graduate certificate

in Clinical Supervision and provide supervision to therapists.

I look forward to meeting you.

FAQS

Is therapy for me?

Navigating life's challenges and complexities can be difficult, as many people must manage experiences that require healing. Talking to someone who is not a friend or family member can be highly beneficial.

What happens in the first session?

We will discuss whether we both feel that we could work well together. We will discuss your reasons for exploring counselling and address any concerns you may have. If, at the close, we decide to continue, then we will arrange a further session.

How long are the sessions, and how often do they occur? And what is the cost?

Each appointment will run for 50 minutes. I recommend that sessions take place weekly and at the same time each week.

I charge £70 per session and offer concessionary rates for students. Supervision is £90 for 90 minutes.

What are your qualifications?

I hold a Master's Degree in Clinical Counselling and have postgraduate qualifications in Trauma Counselling, and Hakomi Foundation. I also hold a postgraduate certificate in Clinical Supervision. I am registered and accredited in the UK with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and in Australia with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA). Both organisations have a strong Code of Ethics, which I am obligated to adhere to.

What about confidentiality?

Counsellors are legally required to maintain confidentiality for clients. However, there are certain situations in which confidentiality will need to be broken: disclosure or evidence of physical, sexual, or emotional abuse or neglect. As a counsellor, I am a Mandatory Reporter, which means that any abuse of children under the age of 16 years must be reported to the correct authorities.

How do I choose a counsellor?

Some questions for you to ask -

Are they qualified?

Are they aligned with a professional body such as the BACP or PACFA?

Do I feel comfortable with them?

Could you trust them?

Would you recommend them to a friend?

In your search for a therapist, be clear about the type of person that you want to invest your time (and money) in. There are no hard-and-fast rules. The therapeutic relationship, like all relationships, takes time to build.
