Deborah Rea Counselling FDSC

Embarking on the counselling journey can be significant, demonstrating your commitment to personal growth. Ensuring that you find the right therapist is important, so to help you take this step, I offer a free 30-minute consultation, as I believe that trust and genuine connection are the cornerstones of a meaningful therapeutic relationship. This is an opportunity for you to express your counselling goals, ask any questions, and see if we would like to work together.

I offer flexible therapy options designed to fit into your schedule. Alongside face-to-face sessions, I provide online and telephone counselling, allowing you to access professional support from the comfort of your own space, at a time that works for you. I also offer walk-and-talk therapy for those who find movement and nature helpful in the therapeutic process.

Sessions last for 50 minutes and are either long-term or short-term. My fees are £50 after the consultation. I also offer concessionary rates: please enquire.

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP). I am fully insured, ICO registered, and DBS checked.

These are just some of the challenges that can be effectively addressed through counselling:

Testimonials

“I've been having sessions with Deborah since January, our sessions have been a safe place to talk about whatever I need to talk about, a space to cry, be angry and openly speak. Deborah has given me tools to use moving forward and really changed my outlook on the future. Thank you for everything.”

Emma

“I started seeing Deborah with zero expectation and an open mind having never had any form of therapy before. I found the whole experience to be totally life changing. I've been able to be softer to myself with emotions that arise, giving myself time to sit with them. I've also managed to become more conscious and less compulsive with my reactions. Deborah is incredible at holding a safe space and guiding you through trauma to lift the heavy weight away. She made me feel so capable of getting through challenges and eliminating many limiting beliefs. I'm very grateful for Deborah's support and would recommend her to anybody who is struggling with holding onto traumatic experiences. Again, thank you so much for everything and I hope you’re well.”

Alice

“I've been seeing Deborah weekly for ongoing counselling and have been welcomed with her genuine care and patience in a space that feels both safe and calm. Deborah has really helped me discover insightful ways to deal with my ongoing stresses and childhood trauma — often in a creative way. I am really grateful for how Deborah has helped me shift into a more conscious way of dealing with my life. Thank you!”
