Counselling is for everyone, because we all experience problems at some time in our lives…
Whether it’s concerns about performance at work, mid-life anxiety, pressure from caring for ageing parents, worries about a loved one’s addiction, or navigating friendship or relationship breakdowns, it will be affecting your emotional wellbeing and quality of life. I’m a counsellor based in the East Brisbane area, offering both online counselling and in-person sessions. Flexible appointment times are available during the day and after hours with blocks of affordable counselling sessions available.
Hello! I’m Deborah.
I’m a counsellor, a calm presence, and a woman who’s lived many lives in one. My work is rooted in lived experience: I know what it means to grieve, to feel lost, to carry longing, and to rebuild. I’ve walked through the deep pain of childhood abandonment, the heartbreak of disconnection in relationships, the complexities of parenting, addiction, perfectionism, and caring for aging parents. These chapters of my life haven’t broken me – they’ve shaped me into someone who can hold space with gentleness, depth, and genuine understanding.
Frequently Asked Questions
What issues can counselling help with?
Counselling can support you through grief, anxiety, relationship struggles, life transitions, low self-worth, stress, or simply feeling stuck. It’s a space to make sense of what you’re going through.
How do I know if counselling is right for me?
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or unsure how to move forward, counselling can help you gain clarity, calm, and confidence. You don’t need to have a crisis to benefit.
What happens in a counselling session?
We talk about what’s on your mind. This is a non-judgemental space where you can feel safe to express anything. You set the pace, and we explore patterns, emotions, and ways to move toward.
What is person-centred therapy?
I focus on what is going to work for you. No unrealistic goals or expectations. I support you through deep listening, empathy, and connection. I help you to reflect on and explore your issues and give you tools and guidance to discover ways to move forward that work for you. In other words, I don’t tell you what you should do, I help you discover for yourself what is going to work
Is everything I say confidential?
Yes. What you share is confidential, except in rare situations where safety is at risk. I’ll explain this clearly at your first session.
Do I need a referral?
No referral is needed. You can contact me directly to book an appointment or ask any questions.
