Deborah sees counselling as a unique relationship where you are supported through the changes in your life as you move towards your goals. Engaging in a collaborative, therapeutic process can help you be your best self. You may be seeking a different relationship with others in your life or with yourself. You may be struggling with anxiety, stress, sadness, a life transition, adjustment to an illness or injury, chronic pain or trauma or you just might not be feeling the way you want to feel. Supportive, empathic listening, new ideas to consider, skills to practice and employ, a safe place to wonder “what now” is what Deborah wants to share with you. She welcomes feedback and direction from her clients and sees it as necessary to the co-creation of a beneficial therapeutic environment.

Deborah has been in helping professions for over 20 years. She has been a Registered Psychologist for over 10 years and worked at a large general counselling agency. She considers herself to be the fortunate recipient of other’s ideas and solutions that she now shares with clients who need them. “My clients have taught me so much about how to live life well, how to be flexible and resilient.”

She utilizes strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Progressive Goal Attainment Program (PGAP), Strategic Treatment of Depression, Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy (SFBT), the Brain Story, Advanced Strategies for Treating Anxious Families, the ADHD Effect, Clinical Hypnosis.
