Deborah Potts Counselling

Very warm, caring professional which makes you feel at ease and more comfortable to talk to. I've never been more clear headed after our sessions. Highly recommended!

I have had two sessions with Debs so far and have found her to be very professional, approachable and incredibly helpful in helping me with my issues.

I travel about 35 miles for our appointments and she is well worth it. I would highly recommend her. More...

Deborah is highly professional. She has the ability to make you feel comfortable and relaxed in her sessions. She is extremely compassionate and certainly helped me to make my return to work as a nurse possible.

Deb has a natural warmth and empathy about her which instantly puts you at ease. I have been having sessions with Deb for a few months now, and having tried various other forms of therapy/counselling, I feel that I have finally found someone who fully understands me and has techniques that I can apply to my everyday life that helps with bouts of depression and anxiety. Highly recommend!

I’ve tried counselling before but have never received the support I needed until I met Deborah! She’s helped in so many ways I cannot thank her enough! Debs is a kind, loving and friendly person and I am so glad I went to her! I would very highly recommend!! More...

Deb is an amazing counsellor, she puts you at ease very quickly and strikes the right balance between friendly and professional. The Human Givens therapy she uses seems to be really working for me compared to other counselling techniques I’ve tried. (I’ve tried a few!) In a few sessions I’ve made a lot of progress and she gives you techniques to use at home too. I can’t recommend Deb highly enough as a counsellor, she’s also helped other members of my family and we’ve all felt the same. Since coronavirus Deb has offered counselling over the phone which has been really helpful at this awful time! Thank you Deb for everything you’ve done so far for me. More...

Fantastic therapist would highly recommend if looking for someone to help you with anxiety and depression issues

Deborah is a very understanding and caring professional who will help in whichever way she can. I have found her very supportive and nothing is too much for her and I have already recommended her to a colleague who is also being supported by her.
She has very good techniques which I currently use and will carry on using in the future. More...

My stable life suddenly began to fall apart following attending an unimaginable horrific incident at work. I was diagnosed with PTSD. My thinking became filled with flashbacks, I was sleep deprived and had regular anger outbursts for no good reason, this all combined with crippling anxiety attacks.I was referred to Debs by Red Poppy. Debs made time to see me immediately and fully supported me throughout the process. She helped me to understand why my brain was functioning the way it was. I received rewind therapy which helped to break the emotional link and I was taught techniques to gain control of 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! More...

I went to Deborah because I really needed help with my anxiety as it was taking over my life. I felt drained with it, I was pushing people away. I just wanted to get out of the hole that I was trapped in. The first time I went to debs she was very welcoming she asked a little about my life which I thought was good as I’ve tried many counselling session that are literally like tell me about your life and go out feeling awful. With debs she wasn’t like that at all. We did rewind, hypo-therapy, relaxing therapy and breathing techniques which really worked well. I felt like weight had lifted of my shoulders and I could see light at the end of a tunnel. I felt great after my 2nd session. I would defiantly recommend debs she is wonderful and very helpful. I have my life back now and it feels great. All thanks to debs.
Thanks debs More...

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!

I highly recommend Debs. More...

Me and my partner both had counselling with Debs for anxiety & 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 outlooks on life and how we deal with everyday problems and challenges.
I honestly couldn’t recommend Debs more. More...

Deborah enabled to help me work through my issues, professionally and intently. Highly recommended

I saw Deborah for anxiety and relationship issues. She taught me some coping mechanisms and enabled me to work through and unscramble some of my own thoughts. Deborah has a very kind and reassuring demeanour and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or see her again. More...

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 after 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. More...

Debs has helped me with my sleeping difficulties caused by anxiety. She has a calming influence and professional approach to her work. I would highly recommend Debs to anyone.

The breathing exercises she taught me have been invaluable. They are easy to do and work every time. Thank you Deb. More...

Nothing but good things to say about how Debs has helped me in my therapy sessions. I was able to talk about my personal issues and gained a lot of confidence within myself with the advise and suggestions I was given on how to face things in a positive way. The guided imagery helped me to relax my mind as well as my body. It helped take me away from my negative thoughts and to a calmer quieter place such as a beach or a forest. I will recommend Debs to anyone in need of help and guidance. More...
