“Debs is an outstanding counsellor. She knows how to hold a safe space and is completely trustworthy and full of compassion for her clients. I received counselling from Debs over a number of years following 4 major bereavements and she gave me time to talk, cry, swear, and, at times, laugh! I finished each sessions feeling lighter, stronger and more resilient than when I went in. I highly recommend Debs services without hesitation.”
What Is Depression?
Depression is more than just “feeling low.” It can affect your ability to function day-to-day and undermine your relationships, energy, and confidence. Some people experience deep sadness, while others feel numb, irritable, or anxious. If you’re constantly tired, struggling to concentrate, or feeling hopeless, counselling can help you make sense of what’s going on.
Common Symptoms of Depression:
- Persistent sadness or low mood
- Difficulty concentrating
- Lack of interest or pleasure in usual activities
- Sleep problems or fatigue
- Feelings of guilt, hopelessness, or worthlessness
- Physical aches with no clear cause
- Withdrawing from others
Everyone’s experience of depression is different – that’s why I offer counselling that’s entirely focused on you.
How I Can Help: A Person-Centred Approach
I practise person-centred counselling, a well-established therapeutic model that prioritises your voice, your pace, and your emotional experience. Together, we create a partnership built on empathy, honesty, and trust. You won’t be judged, analysed, or told what to do — instead, I provide the space for you to feel heard and to rediscover your own sense of strength and clarity.
This approach is especially powerful for those dealing with depression, because:
- It helps you identify and process painful emotions
- It fosters self-acceptance and resilience
- It builds your capacity to cope in healthier, more empowered ways
I’ve supported individuals for as little as 6–8 weeks, while others continue counselling for longer — every person’s journey is different. But time and again, I’ve seen how meaningful change starts when someone feels truly listened to.

A: Person-centred therapy is led by you — not by advice or diagnosis. Unlike cognitive or behavioural models, it focuses on building a genuine therapeutic relationship, empowering you to find your own answers in a safe and accepting space.
A: Some clients attend for 6–8 sessions and see significant improvement. Others benefit from ongoing support over months or even years. We’ll regularly check in to see what’s working best for you.
