"My stable life suddenly began to fall apart following attending an unimaginable horrific incident. I was diagnosed with PTSD.  I experienced flashbacks, was sleep deprived and had regular anger outbursts for no reason, this all combined with crippling anxiety attacks. I was referred to Debs who made time to see me immediately and fully supported me throughout the whole process.

"I received rewind therapy which helped to break the emotional link and taught techniques to gain control over the symptoms I was experiencing.  I am now back at work and coping well. I can't thank Debs enough. She's an amazing lady!"

"I highly recommend Debs as an outstanding Counsellor, her friendly, warm personality combined with her extensive knowledge and experience have been vital in enabling me to turn my life around, following extensive  periods of anxiety and depression that have affected me for 20+ years.

"The 'rewind' technique allowed me to move past traumas and finally look forward to a positive,  bright future.

"Debs was so warm and compassionate. She reassured my teenage daughter that she would be able to help her, following a traumatic accident and she did!  Within two sessions we were able to see the difference Debs had made.  The "rewind" session was life changing for my daughter and has allowed her to carry on living once more,  I highly recommend Debs.

"I was suffering from stress, anxiety and depression which was triggered by a major event in my life that I struggled to come to terms with.  The 'Givens' approach and therapy helped me to "get a grip" and to remember the positives and the joys in my life.

"Deb is calm,  warm and very easy to talk to.  I found meditation (guided imagery) particularly therapeutic and strengthening as I rebuilt a healthy perspective and started to take control of my life once more. I highly recommend her to everyone!  Thank you Deb!

"I was experiencing anger issues which was affecting everything I did, but more concerning was the impact it was having on my family. 

"Fortunately I was able to find Debs on BARK, and with her approachable,  calming and professional manner I have been able to start getting my life back on track by understanding and dealing with my issues

"I've been seeing Debs for a mild anger issue which was becoming more frequent and causing concern and strain to both myself and my relationship/family.  Once I finally decided to seek help, I found Debs through BARK and felt better speaking to her even our initial chat on the phone. 

"Whilst I cannot truly say I don't get angry anymore, Debs has helped me to understand what triggers this behaviour and has taught me techniques to deal with it that I can use in my day-to-day life of having a high pressured job and a very young family. 

"I am so pleased to have met Debs and know where she is if/when I need her in the future, the kettle will be on and she'll welcome me into her beautiful home to talk about whatever is causing me concern - thank you Debs.

"Me and my partner both had counselling with Debs for anxiety and depression,  and in such a short space of time she got us feeling so positive and motivated which is something I personally hadn't felt in a long time.

"We both had the 'Rewind' therapy, which completely changed our outlook on life and how we deal with everyday problems and challenges.  I honestly couldn't recommend Debs more.

"Both myself and my daughter have had counselling with Debs. Her warmth and caring nature is apparent from the first minute of meeting.  She has been a tower of strength to our family during a difficult time and really knows her stuff. We have been able to move forward with her help.

"I went to see Debs for a number of things, she told me I would feel better after my first session and she was right! I left feeling positive and with some ideas of how to help me in situations in the future.  She is such a warm, gentle person and I felt comfortable opening up to her. I would highly recommend her to anyone feeling low or stressed.

"Deborah is very understanding and kind.   I would recommend her to anyone suffering with stress, low self-esteem or anxiety.
