I am a Fully Qualified Counsellor and Therapeutic Coach who has gained extensive experience working with trauma, relationships, anxiety, emotional dysregulation and grief/loss, by working across prestigious organisations such as the NSPCC, Relate, Dartmoor Prison, Royal Air Forces Association and the University of Exeter. After becoming one of the youngest ever counsellors, I have dedicated the last 18 years of my life to studying the psychology and physiology of various conditions in order to provide the most advanced and effective approaches possible for my clients.
I have advanced diplomas in Integrative Counselling and post-graduate qualifications in Couples Therapy, Neuro-Lingustic Programming and EcoTherapy. I am also a Registered Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.
My therapeutic approach is warm, empathetic, and collaborative. I believe that therapy is a process of self-discovery and healing, where clients can feel safe, understood, and supported. I primarily work from an Integrative Framework bringing together Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Systemic and Neuro-Linguistic approaches, blending evidence-based strategies with a person-centered approach that is tailored to each client’s unique needs.
I work with adults, teens, and couples, providing a space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions without judgment. Whether you’re seeking support to overcome life’s hurdles, improve your relationships, or find clarity in difficult times, I’m here to guide you on your journey toward growth and healing.
I am deeply passionate about people being able to break free from patterns and trauma responses that are keeping them stuck and trapped in reactions, and a life, that they don’t want or that doesn’t serve them. My expertise is being able to help you break free from these and create the freedom, peace and happiness you deserve.
I believe in walking my talk, so as well as keeping up with the latest research and developments in the therapy field, I endeavour to lead my best life with lots of nature based activities, inspiring others with my Podcast and enjoying the beauty that Italy offers. As someone who has gone through burnout and left her ‘workaholic’ identity behind, I have a deep knowledge of what is required to create true and lasting change.
Born in the U.K., I have recently relocated to Italy and so I have gained a whole new level of understanding of the excitement and challenges of building a life in a new country.
I am also the founder of the WholeHearted Living Institute where we create programs and resources to help people build a WholeHearted Life.
I am an English-speaking Counsellor and Coach serving offering counselling sessions to adults, teenagers and couples worldwide, both online and in person near Lake Como in Italy. I am an expert in trauma, PTSD and stress recovery combined with nervous system regulation.
Overall
Friendly, easy to talk to. I used Debbie's services in the past, and once I went back for more therapy and realized she wasn't on that platform any more, I googled searched her as I didn't want to use another therapist.
