“Each of us is an experiment of nature, a unique combination of biology and experience, giving rise to our strengths, frailties and hopes”
Counselling and Psychotherapy in Norfolk and Online
Hello, my name is Debbie. My aim is to be there for you, helping you navigate and address your emotional challenges whilst also guiding you in understanding and resolving any personal or psychological issues you face. Life is not always kind to us, it can present challenges that are difficult to navigate.
We all have unique backgrounds, life stories, and experiences, some that are very significant and that’s ok. Understanding that we cannot change what has happened, but we can change how we think about it and how it makes us feel and react, helps us to move forward in our lives.
Working with me in a supportive space where your voice is important, a space where you will be heard, you can begin to make sense of your life and experiences. Whether you are navigating personal challenges, searching for deeper understanding, or simply in need of a supportive conversation, I am here to listen and support as you gain self-awareness and insight. I encourage an empathetic and collaborative environment where your experiences and expertise are the focal point. My goal is to support as you make sense of your world.
Therapy is a deeply personal journey, and what works for one individual may not work for another. It's not a one-size-fits-all solution, but rather a tailored experience designed to meet the unique needs and circumstances of each person seeking healing and growth. That is why I incorporate a range of therapeutic approaches, carefully tailored to address your unique needs. Together, we will explore into your thoughts and emotions, unveil fresh perspectives, and strive towards the goals that matter most to you.
Feel free to reach out if you are ready to start your counselling experience and together, we will find the clarity and confidence you need to move forward.
I am an accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society “NCPS” (MNCPS Acc.) As a qualified pluralistic counsellor and psychotherapist, I offer multi-models of therapy. I adhere to the Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the NCPS, which is accredited to the register for the Professional Standards Authority.
My extensive and diverse life experiences enable me to understand the pressures and stresses of life, allowing me to provide honest and empathetic support and guidance. I offer my services in private practice to adults and groups, and have also contributed my expertise in the voluntary sector.
How I Can Help You
Deciding to see a counsellor is the first step towards a new beginning. It's a significant decision, but it can be a truly constructive one. My aim is to create a tailored experience that tackles anxiety, deepens self understanding, challenges your viewpoints, changes self-critical thoughts, enhances perception of reality, and helps you develop a more adaptive personal narrative. Why is this important? Because the way we interpret our life experiences greatly impacts us. Adapting our personal story doesn't change our past, but it equips us to handle changes, challenges and new situations more effectively. This narrative enables us to find constructive and empowering ways to understand and respond to life's events, leading to improved emotional and psychological well-being.
In simpler terms, it's about changing the story you tell yourself about your life in a way that helps you cope better and thrive.

My location
I offer online and in person counselling sessions from my practice based in Norwich, Norfolk. This is easily accessible from the surrounding areas of North Walsham, Wymondham, Dereham, Acle and Aylesham.
Sessions and Fees
- Individual session fees as of 2025 are £50 for 60 minute sessions in person or £40 for 60 minutes online.
These sessions will be at the same agreed time each week excluding holidays. I work Monday – Friday daytimes. Some evening appointments are also available.
Payment
Payment is due in advance of each session. I accept cash or BACS payments.
If you cannot make it to an appointment, please let me know as soon as you can. If you give less than 48 hours' notice, I will need to charge for the missed session since I hold your appointment specifically for you each week and cannot fill it at short notice.
I will also give you as much notice as possible if I have any holidays or days off that might coincide with our time together. Generally, I take a week off every six weeks, and I also take some time off in during December or January.
Get in touch
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about how therapy works, or to arrange an initial assessment appointment. This enables us to discuss the reasons you are thinking of coming to therapy, whether it could be helpful for you and whether I am the right therapist to help.
You can also call me on 07740818871 if you would prefer to leave a message or speak to me first. I am happy to discuss any queries or questions you may have prior to arranging an initial appointment.
All enquires are usually answered within 24 hours, and all contact is strictly confidential.
