What do you love most about your job?
I am compassionate and dedicated in supporting clients to make changes and at the same time accept and value themselves.
Deborah is known for her strong commitment and dedication in helping people to reach their potential. She brings her personal humanity to her practice and life, which reflects qualities of compassion; empathy; courage; integrity and emotional resilience and trusts in people's potential, to heal and create new realities.
What inspired you to start your own business?
From personal experience as a counsellor working within the NHS, I am very aware there can be long wait time for clients before they see a counsellor and get the help they need. As a private counsellor I am able to help my clients straight away which can prevent problems potentially building up to a crisis situation. If a client is facing a crisis they can receive the right support quickly.
Why should our clients choose you?
Viewpoint Counselling offers you a sense of being deeply understood to resolve conflicts that prevent you from enjoying your life and help you to discover new perspectives, personal goals and ambitions.
My experience includes over 4 years working as a High Intensity Counsellor within Step 3 of the Step Care Model within the NHS Psychological Therapy Service and 5 years as a mentor, facilitating clients to overcome anxiety and build confidence to achieve their goals. In addition, I have training and experience in working with children and adolescents. I have worked for CAMHS as a counsellor and have also been a school Counsellor.
I have experience in the area of personal injury and offer a sensitive, safe and effective psychological rehabilitation service for individuals and families. This involves assessment, treatment and legal reports for adults who have suffered as a result of trauma including industrial accidents.
I welcome and respect people's uniqueness and diversity, and respond respectively to each person's circumstances.
