Hello my name is Deborah I'm an intuitive, empathetic, compassionate, Counsellor and Coach. I have 24 years clinical experience as a professional nurse and experienced in trauma recovery.

I understand the effects of deception, manipulation, bullying, uneven power dynamics in relationships, abuse of power and prolongled pshychological abuse and trauma.
Prolonged gaslighitng, psychological abuse, deception, manipulation, abuse of power can make you feel very isolated, misunderstood, and doubting your own reality, sanity.
I am also familiar with narcissistic, psychopathic abuse, this can be experienced particularly in online dating. I am also familiar with adult grooming, and the devastating effects of trauma bonding, cognitive dissonance, complicated grief and as already mentioned, gaslighting or revision of history.
Breaking free, and unravelling yourself from the insidious damage these relationships can cause to your sense of self and self esteem as well as your ability to trust others, or in yourself, can be very challenging, devastating, as a result you can remain in a vicious cycle or attracting the same, or terminally alone, and feeling the world is bad place.
I am also familiar with Vicarous trauma or secondary traumatic stress after being a frontline worker for the past 24 years.
I understand the symptoms of PTSD, CPTSD and i know it takes courage, creativity, patience and persistence to overcome them.
If you have been a victim of what i have outlined and have felt not understood or believed after what you have experienced, or it has been minimised, rationalised by those you tried to confide in which damages your recovery furthur.
Rest assured you will be fully understood and supported by me. I will help you to explore your emotions however strong they are, in a safe space, and help you to overcome what you have suffered, and move forward stronger and empowered.
As a medical professional and yoga teacher. I am aware of the impact that mental health has on your physical wellbeing, in particular the lesser known effects of prolonged trauma on you physical health, so I have developed an holistic approach to recovery.
Or perhaps you you are struggling with chronic health issues, recovery goals, making lifestyle changes, or coming to terms with a diagnosis, all of which can be very overwhelming and cause a variety of emotions and reactions.
Or you are just struggling with life in general at the moment. Please feel free to get in touch.
We all have the power to overcome anything, we just have to want to, and to believe and be kind, gentle with ourselves.
I look forward to working with you.
