Personal Therapeutic Work
I offer a safe supportive therapeutic environment and empowering practice, tailoring my work to your specific needs.
Over the last 40 years I’ve worked with adults, young people and children who’ve experienced trauma and abuse either in their early lives or in current relationships where they are nervous about violence happening to them. Sessions will be invaluable to anyone who experiences a lack of calm, feels tense or nervous, or finds concentration difficult.
If you experience constant mind chatter, negative self-talk, and a lack of self-fulfilment or self-worth I can help you.
Trauma often leads to stressful lifestyles. We damage ourselves by suppressing feelings and emotions because this allows us to get by. We’ll work out together what holds you back. You can then work to attain a more fulfilled life using a number of therapeutic techniques that are well researched and evidence based.
I use creative therapies such as drama, art and movement, play therapeutic techniques, Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy, relaxation techniques, visualisation and focus, mindfulness meditation and breath work.
I can help you if you have experienced any of the following:
- Emotional or physical adversity, violence or aggression in your life, either now or in the past
- Toxic and blame-centric work cultures
- Poor parenting experiences
- Depression
- Stress and anxiety
- Loss of confidence
- Poor food or diet habits
- Phobias and fears
- Shyness and not feeling good about yourself
- Poor relationship with drugs, alcohol or cigarettes
- Wanting to know yourself better
- Loss and grief
I promise to keep you safe and supported throughout my work. During COVID19 our contact will be through Zoom meetings. You will need to have secure internet connection, and somewhere private and comfortable to go to where you will not be disturbed. I have been carrying out therapy in this way since the lockdown began and it has worked very well. I will return to working directly in my practice as soon as it is declared to be safe to do so.
Please contact me. I will get in touch to make a time for an initial chat to explore how we can work together.
I leave every session feeling uplifted and more positive about my own feelings and decisions. These sessions have helped me more than I first realised, and I am so grateful to have had this time with Deborah.
