YOUR GUIDE TO FREEDOM — ABOUT DEBBIE
Do you ever feel like you’re stuck in the same loop — wanting change, trying different things, but ending up right back where you started?
That feeling has a name. And more importantly, it has a solution.
I’m Debbie. For 25 years I’ve worked with clients around the world who felt exactly like that — ready for something to change, but unsure how. What I know, after thousands of sessions, is this: the loop isn’t a character flaw. It’s a pattern. And patterns can change.
MY JOURNEY HERE
I didn’t arrive here in a straight line — and that’s probably why I’m good at it.
As a teenager I was determined to become a pathologist, inspired by my mum’s devotion to Quincy M.E. That plan lasted until I discovered that blood and I were not going to be friends.
That detour led me somewhere unexpected: supporting people through the challenges of life and loss as a Funeral Director. It was there I became genuinely fascinated by the way people think, feel, and cope — what helps some people find peace while others stay stuck, even when they desperately want to move forward.
That curiosity never left me. It led me to study Counselling, then to specialise in Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy — where I found something that felt like coming home. A solution-focused, results-oriented way of helping people move beyond the patterns that have been running their lives.
Today I hold five degrees, including a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and a Masters in Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy. I’m a Fellow of the National Hypnotherapy Society, and I’ve trained with and worked alongside world-renowned experts including Paul McKenna, Richard Bandler, John La Valle, Michael Neill, and Steve Miller.
And 25 years later, this is still my entire practice. Not a side interest. Not something I do alongside other work. This is it — and that depth of focus is exactly what my clients come for.
WHY WORK WITH ME
My clients aren’t looking for someone to talk at them about their problems. They’ve usually already done that. They come because they want something to actually shift — and they’ve heard, from someone they trust, that I get to the root of it.
Here’s what 25 years has taught me: the thing that brings someone to therapy is rarely the whole story. It’s the straw that broke the camel’s back. So while I’m always mindful of what you come in with, I’m also listening for what led you here — because that’s where the real work happens.
I work at your pace. Always. Whatever you’re carrying, we go as gently or as directly as you need.
I work across four areas:
Anxiety — the overthinking, the catastrophising, the nervous system that won’t stand down. We reduce the stress itself, not just the symptoms, so you’re no longer at the mercy of a mind that won’t stop.
Unwanted habits — from emotional eating to smoking to the patterns you’ve tried to stop a hundred times. Not willpower. Not discipline. Root cause.
Weight release — and I use that phrase deliberately. We tend to search for things we lose. I’m not here to help you lose weight. I’m here to help you release it — and never go looking for it again. I’m one of the UK’s leading weight release experts and the creator of the multi-award-winning Get Real! and Get Slim for Life® programme, designed to get you off the yo-yo diet cycle for good.
Trauma — from single incidents that changed everything, to deeply ingrained childhood experiences that are still shaping how you feel, sleep, relate, and move through the world today. You don’t have to relive everything to heal it. We work with what you’re ready for, uncovering and gently resolving what’s underneath — the flashbacks, the fear, the abandonment, the anger — at a pace that feels safe for you.
My approach combines continuous specialist training with the kind of pattern recognition that only comes from sitting with thousands of clients over 25 years. I’m constantly learning, reading, and integrating new approaches — because the clients I work with deserve that.
FOR QUALIFIED THERAPISTS
If you’re a therapist yourself, I also offer specialist training and clinical supervision — supporting you to grow, reflect, and sustain the quality of your practice without burning out. Because good supervision isn’t a luxury. It’s what keeps the work ethical and alive.
