    Deborah’s practice includes  working with addictions, anxiety disorders, depression, couples communication issues, anger management, mood disorders, gender issues, abuse, grief and trauma.  Her collaborative therapeutic approach is tailored to the specific needs of her clients as apposed to a prescriptive pre-determined formula.
    Deborah works with people with varied backgrounds and life experiences. Each client; be they a family, a couple or an individual is treated with respect and viewed as unique. Her approach is positive, collaborative, compassionate and non-judgmental, aimed at supporting her clients to explore, understand and move towards different more desirable outcomes.
    The goal of therapy is to understand why we are where we are and to shift perspectives and behaviour in such a way that we are able to ultimately move forward in a new direction. Therapy and counselling can be sometimes be difficult; but can also be tremendously rewarding. Deborah provides a supportive, safe, comfortable environment  that allows client’s to work towards their therapy goals.
