Hello, I’m Deborah

I’ve been a psychologist for 30 years now. I’m a BPS Chartered Psychologist and HCPC Practitioner Psychologist.  I’ve worked in the NHS and other public services, in academic research, and in the higher education sector.  I’ve worked with people with mental health problems, with physical illness and disability, with educational difficulties, dyslexia, ADHD and ASD. And of course I’ve worked with people who just feel that something is wrong and life could be better. 

My primary approach is personal construct psychology. It’s an approach that works with the whole person – your thoughts, feelings, physical responses, your longer-term history and the here-and-now. The many schools of psychotherapy all have something to add and it’s important to work flexibly. I also use insights and techniques from CBT, ACT, CAT, and others.

In 2021, I moved to the island of Anglesey and I live on the north coast in a beautiful village called Cemaes Bay. The village feels like coming home to me. I love the rugged coastline, the harbour, the simplicity of village life. But it has been quite a journey to get here. Like most people, my life has not been plain sailing and I’m happy to have arrived here. It is a privilege to work with people who are willing to open up and explore the things that trouble them, and I hope you will choose to work with me.
