Debbie Shaw
Therapeutic Counsellor

Taking that first step to make an appointment can be scary but invest in yourself, you are worth it.

Beginning therapy can be a big step towards being the healthiest version of yourself and living the best life possible. No matter what challenges you may be facing, through therapy you can change behaviours and habits and resolve painful feelings. No-one should have to face problems alone and I would like to help you gain the tools you need to make any necessary changes to enable you to live a more fulfilling life.

About me and my practice

Within my work I cover a range of issues including Anxiety, Depression, Relationship issues, Bereavement, Low Self-esteem/Low Confidence.

Together we will build a therapeutic relationship where you feel comfortable and safe enough to explore your experiences and difficulties with me, in a confidential, non-judgemental environment.

We will work through your thoughts and feelings and through our counselling sessions you will be provided with the opportunity to gain the tools you need to encourage growth and move towards change.

I hope this website has given you a sense of what I can offer, but please do feel free to contact me for a chat on 07756 696247 if you wish to discuss anything further, or email me.

Experience

I completed a 12 month placement at MIND as part of my training, before establishing my own private practice which I have had for 6 years.

I see a lot of individuals with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, bereavement and I am also very experienced in Couples/Relationship therapy.

As I am also trained in CBT (cognitive therapy behaviour), this helps to provide clients with tools and techniques to facilitate behaviour change where required.
