Debra | Psychodynamic Counsellor
Psychodynamic Counselling Ashtead
Hi I'm Debra, I am a professionally trained counsellor and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I am able to help you with many issues including anxiety, depression, loneliness, low self-esteem, anger, conflict, attachment issues and bereavement. I offer both face to face and online therapy for flexibility and people describe me as having a warm and calm disposition.
If you are struggling with anxiety or feeling overwhelmed it can be difficult to see a way forward. Maybe your mind is caught up in a spiral of negative thoughts. Or maybe it feels like you have a thousand tabs open on the laptop at once. I understand that it can often feel daunting to reach out to others. Perhaps you feel friends and family will not understand how you are feeling or maybe you don't want to bother them. That is where I can help. I am here to listen to you without judgement and I am here to help you find calm and stillness in a world that can feel out of control at times.
As a psychodynamic therapist I will help you think about how your past may be influencing your current patterns of behaviour. I will provide a space for you to talk through your feelings and anxieties, helping you to make sense of your world. My interests are ADHD, Attachment, Trauma, Anxiety and Bereavement.
