About me

My practice
Hello, thanks for visiting. My name is Debra and Heart Life Counselling is a counselling service for adults (16+), individual and couples, that also has a special interest in supporting recovery from trauma & abuse. Heart Life Counselling has been established since 2003 to facilitate my passion for helping people stuck in old ineffective habitual ways of coping that are no longer helpful. Clients frequently comment on how surprisingly easy they found it was talking to me. They have described me as warm, friendly, down-to-earth professional that bring new insights into their circumstances.
My primary focus is to bring clarity & new insights to people's lives who experience feeling stuck or overwhelm in their circumstances. I believes in empowering my clients to develop new life tools so they can more effectively deal with life’s challenges. Over the years I have pursued a particular interest and expertise in anxiety and trauma work, depression, anxiety, recovery from past abuse, and relationship stresses including recovery from domestic violence.
