I work with a wide range of diverse needs and people, but particularly those struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, poor self-esteem and the feeling that they are just not good enough. Many of the people I work with find themselves feeling constantly anxious - worrying about what other people think of them, trying to keep everyone happy or believing they are flawed and not good enough. They are often exhausted and frustrated that they can't find a way to break free from this.

I use CBT, especially REBT, alongside clinical hypnotherapy.
Anxiety, stress and burnout can creep up slowly until they begin to take over. You may feel constantly on edge, mentally exhausted, trapped in worry, unable to switch off, or no longer like yourself. Sleep suffers, confidence dips, work feels heavier and life feels harder than it used to. I specialise in helping adults manage anxiety disorders, chronic stress and burnout, including stress-related physical symptoms and chronic pain worsened by anxiety and stress. Many of my clients are capable, high-functioning professionals who have reached a point where coping alone no longer works.

My ideal clients are people experiencing migraines, chronic headaches, anxiety, or physical symptoms without a clear medical cause. Many feel frustrated when medical tests show no answers, yet symptoms persist. They come to me feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or curious about deeper patterns behind their symptoms. In our work, we explore the mind–body connection, including stress, emotional tension, and internal pressure. I offer a calm, supportive space where clients can develop awareness, process emotions, and reduce tension. Over time, this can help improve emotional balance and reduce the intensity or frequency of symptoms.

Hi, I'm Deborah. I'm an experienced psychologist and founder of Therapy Online & In Person. I like to work with people who are experiencing anxiety, sadness, self-criticism, and a loss of direction and confidence. You might have experienced something recently in your life that has knocked you. Or you might have felt this way for a long time but you're tired of keeping it inside and hiding it. It's time to let someone help. I also work with couples who are struggling to communicate, have lost trust, each feeling alone and without that precious sense of 'us'. I only work with couples in person rather than online.

My clients often look like they’re coping. They appear capable and responsible, sometimes highly successful, yet privately they are often anxious, disconnected, self-critical or exhausted. Some carry complex trauma or PTSD; others just know something doesn’t feel right. Many have learned to be the strong one. They don’t just want symptom relief — they want to understand their patterns, feel calmer, build steadier relationships and feel at home in who they truly are. They want the opportunity of a therapeutic relationship that will help them heal from their emotional wounds and unburden themselves.

I use psychotherapy and hypnotherapy in a flexible, practical way depending on what you need.
Do you feel like you are managing everything on the outside, but internally you are overwhelmed, exhausted, or constantly trying to hold yourself together? Maybe your mind never really switches off. Maybe your emotions feel intense, unpredictable, or difficult to regulate. Or maybe you are simply tired of feeling like you have to “push through” while quietly struggling underneath. This is often the case for people navigating ADHD, autism, PMDD, anxiety, trauma, or major life transitions that have disrupted their sense of stability or identity.

I am a Psychotherapist working in Bristol and will work with you to move towards transformational change. Often the first steps, on the journey of self-discovery, are the hardest. If change were on a scale, from 0-10, moving from 0-1 is often the most challenging, as it requires adding something fundamentally new to ourselves, rather than simply multiplying the skills and qualities that we already have. Should we collaborate, the search and discovery of new traits and competencies can take place in a non-judgmental and supportive enviroment.

My own journey to becoming a therapist began with the need to make sense of my own situations and self. The beliefs I had about myself and the world as I saw it, and the beliefs I had about how the world saw me. I bring lived experience of managing mental challenges and addictions. I understand that our unique life experiences shape how we think, feel, and relate to the world and one another. Amazing things unfold when humans, together, face the problems of living with openness and kindness and without pressure to perform. This is the essence of therapy.

Hypnotherapy Counsellors
How does hypnotherapy work?
Hypnotherapy works by using guided hypnosis to help you reach a state of focus and concentration through mental imagery and soothing verbal repetition. The state is somewhat like being absorbed in a book, a film, or your own thoughts. You are not under a therapist’s “control,” but they can help you relax and turn your attention inward to discover the resources to achieve behaviour change or better manage psychological concerns. Therapy sessions may involve guiding you through recognising a problem, releasing problematic thoughts about it, and considering and accepting more productive alternatives before returning to normal awareness. Hypnotherapy is typically used by a therapist along with traditional forms of talk therapy. Eventually, your therapist can help you learn hypnotherapy techniques yourself, so you can establish a stronger sense of control on your own in stressful or challenging moments.

Is hypnotherapy the same as hypnosis?
Hypnotherapy, which is sometimes called hypnotic suggestion, is a therapeutic technique in which a therapist uses hypnosis to help patients. It is not the kind of hypnosis portrayed in stage shows, or in movies or on television. You will not be unconscious or asleep during hypnotherapy, you will not lose control of yourself, your thoughts, or your free will, and you will be able to fully recall your experience. And while you will hear your therapist’s suggestions, it is always up to you to decide whether to act on them. Hypnosis by a trained mental-health professional is not a form of mind control, which is impossible to achieve anyway.

Can everyone be hypnotised?
The most common challenge of hypnotherapy is that as many as one in four people cannot be hypnotised. Brain imaging has confirmed differences in patterns of brain connectivity between those who respond to hypnotism and those who do not. Other people who could potentially be hypnotised may not respond to the technique because of their scepticism or resistance to entering a hypnotic state. If a therapist’s “post-hypnotic suggestion” is effective, it’s because they are suggesting something you want to achieve.

Does hypnotherapy work?
Through hypnotherapy, you can achieve changes that are real and sustainable. Like other talk therapy techniques, when hypnotherapy succeeds, it’s a case of mind over matter. Effective hypnotherapy involves self-healing because you access resources you need to change inside of yourself and learn how to tap into them whenever you need. Hypnotherapy has been shown to be an effective therapy for anxiety, phobias, stress, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder, sexual dysfunction, and undesirable behaviours like smoking. It can be used to help improve sleep or to address relationship challenges, and to aid with pain management, digestive disorders, skin conditions, and the gastrointestinal side effects of pregnancy or chemotherapy.
