Deborah Young

Please get in touch for your free consultation. 

We offer flexible appointments to suit your busy lifestyles.

(Stand alone counselling is also available)

Deborah works as an integrative counsellor & Steve works as a personal trainer & personal gym consultant.

They have been working separately in their own private practices for many years while signposting clients to each other. Earlier this year they decided to join forces, recognising that many of their clients would benefit from a combination of talking therapy & exercise. They care deeply for their clients and have witnessed the positive results when they have empowered their clients to decide week by week how they would like their therapy. A combined programme might look like;

Week one: Counselling (1hr)

Week two: Personal training (1hr)

Week three: split counselling (30mins) Personal training (30mins)

Counselling & personal training are now under one roof which makes it easier for clients to move between the two flexible options.

A holistic approach embracing the connection between emotional and physical well-being. Mind&Body embraces the whole of you, empowering you to progress towards a better version of yourself, with a clearer mind & stronger body.

Research shows that there is a strong link between mental health & physical health. It is one unique circuit that transmits thoughts, feelings, beliefs, & behaviours from our mind through to our body and from our body up to our mind.

Talking therapies & physical exercises promote better health, which in turn is beneficial to avoiding/decreasing stress, anxiety, depression, IBS, & sleep-related problems.

It all starts with you. Contact Mind&Body for your free half-hour consultation; together with Deborah & Steve, you’ll work step by step, at your pace to explore the possibilities, discover your authentic self & build new inner strength.

Welcome to my counselling service. I provide an initial free 30 mins telephone/online consultation so that I can tailor the right support for your needs and for you to be able to ask me questions about my practice. I see clients from the age of 16 upwards.  I work using an integrated model of counselling, which means, I am trained to adapt therapy according to my clients needs by bringing together different elements of specific therapies.  To give guidance, and to stimulate discussion with my younger clients and those with additional needs and learning disabilities, I use CORE outcome measure forms throughout our counselling sessions. It is intended as a guide, to be used and adapted in line with my clinical practice and in the context of the intervention with the young people and families with whom I am working with.

Sessions are a full hour in length and I offer long and short term weekly or fortnightly sessions including top-up and adhoc sessions. Counselling sessions can be arranged via telephone and email. All my evening sessions are now via Zoom, FaceTime, telephone only.

I offer, weekly, fortnightly, adhoc, and top-up counselling sessions. Each session is 60 minutes (extended sessions can be arranged prior to session). Counselling sessions can be face to face, or via Zoom, FaceTime or telephone, or a combination to fit around your busy life. I also offer care-home/residential visits (extra petrol costs charged).
