Debbie Fitchsampson

All sessions are online or by telephone. 

Typically counselling is arranged for regular weekly or fortnightly sessions on the same day and time each time we meet. However, life can be complicated and I try to accommodate various working patterns and other commitments you may have. 

Hello I am Debbie and I have been welcoming clients to my practice since 2011. I work with a wide range of difficulties and I will be pleased to discuss your individual needs with you.  

I am an experienced, accredited counsellor with over 15 years of experience of providing counselling across a wide variety of settings including, a G.P. Practice, the voluntary and charity sectors and since 2011 my private practice.

I provide a safe, confidential and compassionate space for you to think about and make sense of your experiences and feelings. Some clients come for a few sessions others for longer-term work either approach can be valuable and effective. 

My practice has been established since 2011 and provides a warm and professional approach to counselling and therapy.

Currently sessions are either online or by telephone. There’s no travel time or expenses to consider and you can access the benefits of therapy from your home or office. I am using zoom video platform which is straightforward to use and I will be pleased to talk you through the process.

I have undertaken thorough training to support online counselling and I am a member of the Association for Counselling and Therapy Online (ACTO). 

Our first session is a chance to get a feel of how the counselling process will work between us. We can think about the approach that is right for you, including whether you need just a few sessions or an open-ended approach. If for whatever reason I am not the right counsellor for you, we can think about what help you need or I can refer you to a colleague. The first session is charged at the usual fee.
