Hello and welcome to my page. I’m Debbie and I work with children, young people and adults. Life can feel overwhelming at times: stress at school or work, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or past experiences that still feel painful. You may notice your child feeling withdrawn, anxious, or struggling with friendships and self-esteem, or you may be feeling stuck, dissatisfied with your life, or disconnected. Perhaps you are looking for ways to feel happier, overcome a difficulty and feel more resilient? You don’t have to go through your difficulties alone.

I make use of a range of insights, perspectives, and strategies from different therapeutic modalities (humanistic, psychoanalytic, and cognitive-behavioural).
Whatever the issue, I don’t think you are broken or that you need to be fixed. If you struggle, it is because life can be difficult and figuring out how to comfortably and confidently be yourself, interact with others, and engage with the world is not always easy. Therapy can help with that.

You might be the one who holds everything together. You function well, meet expectations, and keep going even when you’re exhausted. Inside, your mind rarely rests. You overthink, feel tense, and carry a quiet fear of letting people down. Many women I work with don’t feel “unwell” but they feel constantly on edge, disconnected, or emotionally tired. Therapy with me is a space where you don’t need to perform, explain yourself, or stay strong. You get to slow down and be met as you are.

Psychoanalytic Counsellors
Does psychoanalytic therapy work?
Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviours. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.
How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?
Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behaviour is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.
Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?
Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.
Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?
Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
